Sounds an interesting endeavor, maybe with a flavor of journey to the heart of Chaos from Inne pieśni by Jacek Dukaj, where Aristotelian and Gombrowicz’s metaphysics shape matter through will of potent kratistos. (English translation is nowhere in sight, but I read it in Polish and Russian; definitely worth mentioning as one of the most original science fantasy works in existence on this side of Zelazny — imagine Celestial Matters having a hot affair and a love child with Lord of Light or Heart of Darkness.)

Japanese culture as a backdrop is a plus, due to diverse modding of Pax Nipponica elsewhere in cyberpunk and also because of very natural projection of kannagara no michi unto the modern strongly animistic treatment of hidden figures influencing information flows and spawning memes like mayflies.
