The name itself, Onmyodo, is a Japanese term that is somewhat lost to the history books, and even the history books have a hard time placing it. Onmyodo was an ancient practice in Japan that revolved around the five core elements and yin and yang and was, basically, Japanese Daoism. While Onmyodo no longer exists, and is mostly forgotten to all but interested researchers, many of its practices remain, now built into Shinto and Japanese Buddhism.
