Many of the officials of the Onmyô-ryô were ritual specialists from the Korean peninsula.<ref name=rawski117>Evelyn Rawski, ''Early Modern China and Northeast Asia: Cross-Border Perspectives'', Cambridge University Press (2015), 117.</ref> Those particularly expert in divination, geomancy, and other yin-yang related "magical" fields were known as ''onmyôji''; [[Abe no Seimei]] (d.
