Now I know why you wanted a translation.
How about Edo period, or the Bakamatsu? (15th to 18th century) I'm guessing it's Feudal Japan, which is from the 12th century to the 19th century, Kamakura Period to the Meiji Restoration. For reference, Rurouni Kenshin takes place during the Meiji Restoration, but Kenshin's history came from the Bakamatsu, the final ending years of the Edo period. Samurai Champloo is very anachronistic, but if I had to place a period, it would be Edo period minus the foreigners and guns.
It's important to establish the setting, which includes the time period. Details surrounding scenery, architecture, society, etc. are reflected in the time period even if the story is fantasy. It sounds like this story is centered in a Japan-like setting, so even if time isn't given, knowing your history will give your story that much more credibility and surrealism.
That's why I said I have to polish things up a bit, and as for credible surrealism I'm looking more towards feudal Japan because of the ability to war a story around magic and demons, during this time period.
