in japan, twilight has many names.
for example, "yugata", "tasogare", "kure", "ban"...etc.
a long time ago before electricity at twilight, people couldn't see each other's faces, so they couldn't tell if the person in front of them was real or a ghost. that's why in the twilight people would call out "tasogare" meaning "who are you ?"
so another name for twilight is "omagatoki" meaning to meet ghosts.
