    The Search for Seimei: Japan's Merlin

    THE SEARCH FOR SEIMEI: JAPAN'S MERLIN Did I Wake You? Stories From 3am Season 1 Episode 6 In the Heian Period, when Japan's imperial court feared curses, spirits, and the unseen forces that could topple an emperor, there was one man they trusted above all others. His name was Abe no Seimei, and history remembers him as Japan's greatest onmyoji, a court sorcerer whose reputation was so formidable that he would go on to serve six successive emperors. This is the story of my first documentary quest to find him. I traveled to the shrines built in his memory. Seimei Shrine in Kyoto, built on the site of his home; Abeno Oji Shrine in Osaka, connected to his family, the Abe Clan and Seimei Shrine in Osaka, marking his namesake and birth stone. Along the way, I dug into his legend. His otherworldly lineage and origin story. His famous divination duel against a rival sorcerer. His command over demons and spirits most people never dared to summon.But legends don't get you appointed as court diviner to six different emperors. Something about Abe no Seimei was real enough, or convincing enough, to keep him at the center of imperial power for decades. So which was it? Genius, showman, or something else entirely? Join me as I chase the truth behind Japan's own version of Merlin, the GOAT of Japanese sorcery.
