Abe no Seimei is an eccentric man and is known usually for his random whims and exploits. He usually delves in philosophy and has little interest in the mundane world. Despite his eccentricity, Seimei does possess a strong sense of responsibility and justice, expressing deep regret for the present condition of the Kamiyo family.

## Synopsis

Serving as an advisor to the Emperor and various governors during the Heian period, Semei's primary responsibility was to offer spiritual guidance for addressing various matters. In addition to his advisory role, Seimei excelled as an astrologer and diviner, accurately predicting astrological events. In recognition of his contributions, Emperor Ichijō, following Seimei's passing in 1005, commissioned the construction of a shrine at the location of Seimei's house during the 4th year of the Kankō era (1007) to honor his legacy.
