Page "Sakura Wars" Paragraph 3

Sakura Wars is set in a fictional Taishō period.

Although the alternate timeline's history is similar to that of the real world, a crucial difference lies in technology, where most of the benefits of today's modern era are made possible in the early 1900s with the effective utilization of steam.

In particular, the Imperial Capital Tokyo, also known as the Teito ( the capital ), stood at the forefront of that period's technological revolution.

This was thanks in part to the company called Kanzaki Heavy Industries, who were considered world-leaders in steam-powered machinery.
