Japan

Japan (日本, Japan^?) is an island country located in the northwest Pacific Ocean. The Jigokuraku manga is set in a fictional world of Japan during its Edo period and its current ruler is Tokugawa Nariyoshi — the eleventh shogun.

Trivia

• To the Tensens, Japan is referred to as Wōguó (倭国, Wōguó^? Wakoku), which was Japan's name by the people of ancient China. Translated, "Wōguó" means "dwarf" or "submissive", which Japan viewed as a negative connotation.
• While the real eleventh shogun is Tokugawa Ienari, the fictional eleventh shogun of Jigokuraku would indicate that the story is between 1773 and 1841.
  • The epilogue reveals that Chōbei and Tōma settled in British Hong Kong during the mid-1800s, which was after a year had passed since they and the other survivors escaped Kotaku. This would suggest that the story of Jigokuraku happened around 1840, as British Hong Kong lasted from 1841 to 1997.
