0Demon Slayer takes place in *Taisho Era (1912 - 1926) in Japan*
- *Main story (Tanjiro becomes Demon Slayer):* Around *1912 - 1915*
- The manga author Gotouge said it is *Taisho Era*, which is 1912-1926
- It is about *100+ years ago from now*, around *111 years ago*
*Why we know it's Taisho?*
- In Chapter 1, Tanjiro uses *charcoal stove* and sells charcoal - Taisho was still very rural
- People use *trains* but still use horse carriages - That is Taisho, when modern and old Japan mixed
- Tanjiro's Hanafuda earrings were banned in Meiji but allowed again in Taisho
- Muzan lives in Tokyo with Western clothes - That is Taisho, when Japan started wearing Western clothes.
After final battle, the epilogue (modern Tokyo) is *2020s - Present day* - That's where we see reincarnations.
