Onmyoji (陰陽師, Onmyōji) is a series of historical fantasy short stories and novels written by Japanese author Baku Yumemakura. It follows the story of a fictionalized version of the Heian period onmyoji Abe Seimei, a master in onmyodo, a traditional Japanese form of cosmology. A manga adaptation by Reiko Okano was serialized from 1993 to 2005; it won two major prizes, and got a sequel, Onmyoji: Tamatebako, serialized from 2010 to 2017.
