The Plane of Kamigawa

Champions of Kamigawa is a Magic: The Gathering set set on the plane of Kamigawa, a world inspired by feudal Japan where the mortal realm of Utsushiyo and the spirit realm of Kakuriyo exist in parallel. On this plane, humans and kami—spirits that embody aspects of nature—have long coexisted until the actions of Lord Konda, who stole a powerful kami, triggered open conflict between the two realms.

In the story of Champions of Kamigawa, the Kami War begins as spirits turn against mortals in response to the theft. Princess Michiko Konda and the ronin Toshiro Umezawa become central figures in the escalating tensions, as the barrier between the mortal and spirit worlds weakens and the conflict spreads across the plane.
