JipangMUCK is intended to be a setting for historical Asian
themed fantasy role playing; samurai and ninja, miko and
geisha, honor and vengeance. These, with traces of arcane
magic behind the stranger things going on, are all a part of
what makes its setting. Jipang itself is a small fictional
continent, set in 1864 and located somewhere in the pacific 
ocean around about where Japan is in our world today. Unlike 
Japan during this time period, however, the people of Jipang
are a more open minded lot when it comes to outside people an
cultures, having found much to gain from them in recent
times. There's more info on theme and history on the homepage,
as well as information about the anime/manga series and video
games the muck draws inspiration from.
