Genma Notes — Collectibles Guide
Quick Answer
Genma Notes (幻魔雑記) are one of Onimusha Way of the Sword's informational collectibles — lore entries about the Genma you hunt. They are found across Kyoto and its regions, many in hidden chests that need Oni Vision. They carry into New Game+ (PC Gamer carry list) and are part of the completion picture, though guide coverage does not tie them to a dedicated trophy (unlike Lion Dogs or Mysteries of Kyoto).
Who this is for: lore collectors and completionists adding Genma Notes to the collectible checklist.
What Genma Notes Are
Genma Notes are collectible lore entries on the game's demon enemies and world — the Japanese term 幻魔雑記 matches the franchise's codex tradition. Unlike material collectibles they have no gameplay economy use; they matter for 100% completion (collectibles hub).
Where to Find Them
Map data sites (e.g. the Kyoto corrupted-area map) document Genma Note entries per region, commonly inside hidden chests; the same Oni Vision treasure lineup you use for Tamahagane and Fine Silk Cloth applies — unlock Oni Vision: Treasures and Search Range and sweep regions systematically. A per-region total is not yet published by the guides we verified.
Unverified — pending verification
We do not transcribe per-note coordinates (no verified full-region map in our sources yet). Use the Kyoto map checklists as you sweep; totals will be added here once a reliable count appears.
New Game+ Behavior
Genma Notes carry into New Game+ (PC Gamer reports they sync as collectible entries) — collect them once and they stay, unlike Mysteries of Kyoto and Chance Encounters whose completion resets.
