Tokoyonokuni-haruka4

Tokoyo no Kuni in Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 4.

Tokoyo no Kuni (常世の国) is a mysterious land of legend which appears in literature and mythology. The Furukoto Fumi and Yamato Bumi depict it as a faraway land beyond the seas of Nakatsu Kuni. The water god, Watatsumi, also has his kingdom within Tokoyo no Kuni, suggesting that the land could also be underwater. People have traveled and returned from it. Mythology generally emphasizes that it is a treasure trove of unknown wonders.

Emperor Jinmu's brother, Mikenu-no-Mikoto, visited Tokoyo no Kuni but never returned, suggesting it's a land for the dead. Tokoyo is described as a perfect place where people live forever and never age, with time moving differently. The word "Tokoyo" is an archaic word meaning "night," a deity's permanent resting place, or a land without change.

Role in Game[]

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 4 has residents from this country act as enemies of the protagonist's homeland, Nakatsu Kuni. Based on the character names and their preference for using Sanskrit, the game version of Tokoyo no Kuni is the parallel world's equivalent to Ancient India.

Tokoyo no Kuni, founded by the Tsukuyomi Clan after losing a war, is connected to Nakatsu Kuni through an underground resting place for the dead. The land's rulers are given an ancient poem about a Black Handed King bringing a new Golden Age.

Main Setting[]

25 years ago, the corrupt Emperor of Tokoyo no Kuni was overthrown by his brother Surya, who awakened the Black Dragon, consuming the land's resources. Surya fought against the dragon for six years, causing political conflicts. He sought the queen of Nakatsu Kuni, but was rejected.

Eight Lightning Bolts[]

The Eight Lightning Bolts (八雷, Yano-ikazuchi), also literally called Eight Thunderbolts, refers to eight members within the royal family. Each member reigns over a particular manor within the country.

The titles' namesakes are the eight lightning gods created by Izanami in Yomi no Kuni. They were serpents who crawled from her decaying body parts to attack her husband. The spelling and pronunciations are the same.
