Hino Country

Hino Country (日ノ国) is the distant homeland of Yami Sukehiro. It is currently ruled by Shogun Ryudo Ryuya.

Description
Hino Country has a language very different from the Clover Kingdom; Hino's script is also in Japanese, whereas Clover's resembles Latin script.

In Hino Country, magic is known as "yojutsu" (妖術) and magic power is "yoryoku" (妖力). Instead of grimoires, the citizens use scrolls, which unfurl to reveal writing that manifest spells.

The country has a unique style of sword, known as a katana, and ki is a well-known concept in the country.
