Old Hell (旧地獄 kyuu-jigoku) is a region in the Underworld that was inhabited by many souls long ago that once used to be Hell itself, hence the name. The region itself formed by the bridge guarded by Parsee Mizuhashi at the Deep Road to Hell, the Old Capital of Hell, and the Palace of the Earth Spirits.

General Information

Many oni used to work here. Eventually, because of overpopulation, given its age and how paralyzed its functions were, Zanmu Nippaku proposed to move Hell to another place[1], which was then decided by the Yamas, so everyone moved out; thus the place became known as Old Hell. It has become a forgotten prison for vengeful spirit, left over from before the move. Other oni that had been living above-ground then moved into Old Hell, and other subterranean youkai are also known to lurk around here, making it their paradise. The oni were given permission by the yama to live here. It's also a place where the youkai from above can't interfere with. It's said that the Palace of the Earth Spirits was constructed here after the Underworld was separated from Hell.

It is not revealed as to when Hell moved from this location to make this place "Old Hell". The event in question seems to have took place before Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in 2003, the starting point of the current Touhou Project, since Suika Ibuki was the first oni to appear in Gensokyo for a long while in Immaterial and Missing Power. It's also unknown whether this place is connected to the Hell of Highly Responsive to Prayers as there is confusion with the canonicity of the PC-98.
