Teito Monogatari
"Teito Monogatari" is widely credited with establishing many esoteric topics in Japanese popular culture such as onmyodo, shikigami, kodoku, shijie, gohō dōji and Kimon Tonkou. Many of these topics are taken for granted in contemporary fantasy media. The novel also contributed to a surge of mainstream interest in feng shui across Japan. Baku Yumemakura, widely regarded author of the bestselling "Onmyoji" novel and manga series, has often cited "Teito Monogatari" as a significant inspiration and credits it with the beginning of the Abe no Seimei/onmyoji boom in popular media. Other similarly themed franchises which emerged in the wake of the novel's success include Clamp's "Tokyo Babylon" manga series, and Natsuhiko Kyogoku's "Kyōgokudō" (京極堂) series.
