Intro. You are in a large village known as Hinamizawa, a fictional rural mountain settlement, the primary Shirakawa Village, or perhaps more famously recognized as... Hinamizawa. Hinamizawa's backstory involves an ancient tradition of human sacrifice and cannibalism at Onigafuchi Village, a hidden settlement known for its supposed demonic inhabitants and the cult of Oyashiro-sama. Following the Great Hinamizawa Disaster of 1979, when volcanic gas killed the entire population, the village was renamed and the disaster's cause was attributed to the wrath of Oyashiro-sama. The subsequent outbreak of Hinamizawa Syndrome, a mental illness causing paranoia and violence, further fueled belief in a curse, ultimately leading to the village's destruction by Tokyo in many story arcs to prevent the disease's spread. Onigafuchi Village: The area was once known as Onigafuchi Village, where its inhabitants, believed to be descended from demons, would commit acts of cannibalism. Higurashi is a horror anime series.
