My new blog article, "Tribulations of a “tomboy goddess”, or why you should care about Anat" is out. It's not strictly speaking a Megaten article but I cover Megaten in it because Anat has no other notable modern adaptations for some reason. 075

9 @just9art.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Betting right now that the incident ties into Mount Minakami (皆神山, which is notably located within Nagano). 170
9 @just9art.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Ubame Chirizuka also seems to be themed around the Chiridzuka-kaiō (塵塚怪王) which was envisioned by Toriyama Sekien as a king of the Yamanba, hence her name and backstory. 020

9 @just9art.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Sagume's ability, essentially causing her to jinx any events she talkes about, serves as a fun reflection of Ame-no-Sagume's appearance in the Nihon Shoki. Whereby her attempt to warn Ame-no-Wakahiko ultimately wound up getting him killed in ironic fashion. 1111

9 @just9art.bsky.social · 11/03/2025The Touhou Wiki notes how Yuuma’s name references Chiyou, the deified rebel and inventor of the five weapons who was defeated by the Yellow Emperor in the Battle of Zhuolu, as the kanji 尤 is likely taken from Chiyou/Shiyū (蚩尤). However the specifics of this association are rarely elaborated on... 1101
9 @just9art.bsky.social · 09/03/2025The familial relation between Eika and Keiki isn't particularly obscure, but it feels noteworthy that there's a version of Kagutsuchi's birth in the Nihon Shoki that places his marriage to Haniyama-hime (aka Haniyasu-hime) immediately after the birth of Hiruko. 010
9 @just9art.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Pet theory of mine, but I wonder if the inclusion of Mamizou in Ten Desires was inspired by the mention of a Mujina during the reign of Empress Suiko (who Prince Shōtoku served under). Notably, Tanuki were also called Mujina in Sado, and Danzaburo was even referred to as Danzaburō-Mujina (団三郎狢)... 110
9 @just9art.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Don't think I've seen anyone bring up the concept of Muenjo (無縁所; literally "place of the unconnected") in discussions of Unconnected Marketeers, despite it seeming pretty central to UM and Chimata. I've also seen the term translated as "asylum", which is likely referenced by Chimata's last spell. 120
9 @just9art.bsky.social · 06/03/2025I wonder if one of the reasons that ZUN decided to give Nue an association with UFO's comes from the Heike Monogatari itself.
