The boundaries of Heian-kyō were smaller than those of modern Kyoto with Ichijo-oji (一条大路) at the Northern limit corresponding to present-day Ichijo-dori, (:ja:一条通) between Imadegawa-dori (:ja:九条通) and Marutamachi-dori (:ja:丸太町通), Kyujo-oji in the South corresponding to Kyujo-dori (:ja:九条通) slightly to the South of the present-day JR Kyoto Station and Higashi-kyogoku-oji in the East corresponding to present-day Teramachi Street (Teramachi-dori).
The manga adaptation features art by Aki Shimizu and a script by Natsuhiko Kyogoku himself, and began serialization in 2007.
Kyogoku can use DTP software perfectly, so he freely writes old-fashioned characters and ateji characters with the purpose of capturing old Japanese atmosphere in his novels.
