This is present-day Tokyo: an insular, more than a little xenophobic and homogeneous culture with an extremely long history.
Japan is not like the United States. It is not like Europe, it is not like Canada, it is not like Australia. It is like nothing except Japan. The attitudes, mores, and behaviors of the people are very, very different, and so are just simple everyday routines.
We've chosen Tokyo because of the Shinto views of magic and demons, and the culture it represents. This is a place where angry nature spirits or vengeful ghosts wreaking havoc is accepted, understood, and dealt with, because these are the old ways that everyone knows and they are a people who believe in the unseen more readily.
The four wards that are our focus were chosen because they represent and exemplify several different facets of society in an area small enough to make RP anywhere easy. Class structures are well-represented and generational gaps have plenty of niches to slide into.
Don't be afraid of playing something different than you're used to! No one expects everyone to be experts on representing a different culture in fiction -- but you may be surprised at how fun and rewarding it is to make an effort to look at the world through a very different set of eyes.
