Category Breakdown
The film follows a traditional historical framework and does not include any non-conforming gender identities or narratives that question the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender.
Characters adhere to the strict gender roles of the Heian court. Female nobles and spirits are present but conform to traditional archetypes and courtly behavior.
The cast is ethnically uniform, reflecting the demographics of the Heian period. This preserves the cultural authenticity of the specific historical context.
The story centers on Onmyodo spiritual practices and the maintenance of aristocratic hierarchy. It upholds religious obligations without exploring modern or progressive themes.
There is no portrayal of characters with disabilities who have significant control over their actions. Vulnerabilities are depicted as symptoms of supernatural conditions within the horror genre.
