City of Mist - Japanese Mythology?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: With enough speculation and digging, sure.

I know of nothing truly Japanese that in any way relates to Torsis though. I think Loramin nailed it, it's just foreign and exotic sounding.

Would be a quick/cheap way for a zone designer to give the expansion a theme... they've got to draw inspiration from somewhere, right?

If it was japanese inspired, NPCs would be drinking feces and anime characters that look 12yrs old would be raping eachother.
