Tenjiro, officially the State of Tenjiro (Damukunian: テンジロの様相, Tenjiro no Yōsō) and formerly the Prefecturate of Tenjiro (テンジロの県の集合体, Tenjiro no Ken no Shūgō-tai) is a state in the eastern mainland of Damukuni. It is bordered by North East State to the north, Eastern Free State to the south, Central Free State and South Damukuni to the west, and it shares an international border with Tumbra to the east.
Until 2014, Tenjiro had been a continuously independent country since about 900. With the advent of western Tumbran isolation in the tenth century, native speakers of the Sunrisian languages began to settle west of the Western Kingdom's borders, to the south and west of what is now the southern part of the Hinodejin Empire. The formation of the Holy Empire of Damukuni in 1093 had very little effect on the young fledgling nation of Tenjiro initially; the Tenjirans focused on building a country patterned after western Tumbra's smaller duchies and kingdoms. These small tracts of land would eventually expand, as many of the landowners united their lands, and by 1182, the Prefecturate of Tenjiro was formed. Each of the principal landowners, called prefects, would meet in a centralized location; by 1200, this became the city of Ōza, which originally sat in the Watabe Prefecture until it was granted a charter by the Prefectural Council, declaring it a metropolis independent of the other prefectures (31 by this time).
