## Ancient History to 1979

### History (up to the Muromachi Period [1336-1573])

Following the events of the Onin War (1467-1477), inferior-quality okatana were produced en masse, creating large amounts of noro which caused widespread harm to the people. The Muromachi Shogunate entrusted the management of okatana and noro to the Origami Family, a duty they continue to perform to the present day. Under the guidance of the Origami Family, noro is offered to local deity shrines across the nation as aramitama. Religious ceremonies are held at shrines every year, suppressing the aramitama and allowing people to live in harmony with noro. However, members of the Origami Family were slowly being consumed by noro after being exposed to noro for a long time.

### 1906

Taking advantage of the Shinto shrine joint offering policy in place, the aramitama offered in shrines across the nation combined together, contributing to the accelerated spectrumization of noro.

### 1941 (from the Second Sino-Japanese War to the Pacific War)

The government proclaimed the Edict on the Requisition of Metal Objects. Okatana was no exception to the rule, and those within the control of the Origami Family was encouraged for retrieval. In addition, noro stored in metal cases were also retrieved from the Origami Family. The Origami Family made secret correspondence with military officials, and began doing research on the military uses of the powers of aramitama.

## The Great Disaster of Sagami Bay

### September 23, 1998, day of the Autumn Equinox

The day of the Great Disaster of Sagami Bay; located in Enoshima, the deified great aradama caused what is considered to be the largest-scale aradama-related catastrophe ever recorded in history. (Aradama were summoned into the whole Kanto region, among them a large serpent-like aradama called the Uwabami, and made landfall at the city of Fujisawa in Enoshima, leaving behind 1654 dead, 1245 missing, and 21,542 injured in a massive spectacle reminiscent of monster films. Later on, when the massive aradama was kept under control, the great aradama took a form halfway between a human and a dragon, and identified itself by using the name "Tagitsuhime".)

### September 23, 4:32 AM

Day of the incident. At dawn, the massive aradama Uwabami began its movement from the sea off Enoshima and landed south of Enoshima.

### September 23, 8:52 AM

he massive aradama Uwabami began moving from its location in Enoshima. It traveled north, following National Road 467, to Fujisawa City, causing devastating damage in its wake. Special Task Team units (Toji) and the Type II Special Patrol Officers (Special Riot Police) of the districts of Kanto region, as well as Renpu Senior High School were immediately deployed, but the operation that was launched failed to suppress the threat, leaving both groups with tremendous losses.

### September 23, 11:20 AM

Both the government and the Origami Family made official announcements stating that the series of casualties caused by the great aradama that originated from the sea is the largest recorded incident of such a scale in history. Through a special measures law, an appeal to mobilize the Self-Defense Force for defence purposes was made, and a unit (composed of the JGSDF Central Transportation Command based in the Yokohama Garrison, Hodogaya; Combat Vehicle Unit) was deployed there.
