When I looked up Masakado's tomb, I was afraid the address was wrong. It's between such tall buildings, in the middle of a city. Such a strange place.

Taira no Masakado is not someone to disrespect. One of the three great Onryo - a spirit with a grudge, whose haunting causes disasters. (illness earthquakes, fire tornadoes, freak accidents, even ghostly sightings)

All three of the great Onryo are real people from the Heian era - which is called "the golden age of jujutsu".

The significance on p.10 is that Masakado's grave is not to be disrespected.

Each time this tomb has been disturbed, a disaster would strike. And just keep getting worse until the government backs down and does pacification rituals. Lightning strikes, significant fires in Tokyo, have happened. Even when the US bombed Tokyo, somehow Masakado's grave remained untouched. Under US control, this tomb was decided to become parking lot - but the heavy machinery tipped over, killing the driver, and even the US backed down. That's so wild, and I wonder if it relates to (something we'll see in season 3).

Masakado's tomb is where his head was believed to fly to - when he was killed, his head was taken to Kyoto, as a message to those who would take his side. It's said that his eyes never closed, his head never rot, and could be heard grumbling at night (maybe he was cursed to stay earthbound, out of the afterlife). Until his head flew all the way back to this resting place on its own (back when Tokyo was a peaceful fishing village). The people there cleaned his head and respected it.

Even when this tomb was touched for up keeping renovations, and the basket of his head was found empty, an earthquake happened. The earthquake was not in Tokyo, but the place where Masakado's body was buried. (this screams the probably last scene of s3).

So even today, precautions are taken. Masakado is given a checking account with money in it. The buildings nearby are designed carefully - for example, cubicles set up so no one's back is to his grave. And that plot of land he has is worth so, so much money.
