The hijo are related to Komashi's strange geothermal activity, apparently being directly responsible for the intense heating of the ground in the region of [[Torio]].{{book ref|yumi|4}} Their level of activity seems to vary somewhat. They are especially active every thirteenth year during the [[Festival of Reveals]].{{book ref|yumi|2}}
Primal spirits are attracted to human thoughts and emotions expressed through art.{{book ref|yumi|17}} Many different forms of art can attract their attention, though not all--including painting--are known to do so.{{book ref|yumi|22}} A musical performance such a rock concert, for example, could summon spirits.{{wob ref|15551}} In Torio, a yoki-hijo stacking stones was known to be the best way to attract the spirits.{{book ref|yumi|22}} Following their freedom from the [[father machine]], the hijo have also shown interest in historical dramas and perhaps other [[hion viewer]] programs.{{book ref|yumi|part=anotherepilogue}} Some locations prove better for attracting the spirits than others, such as a [[place of ritual]], but they can be attracted elsewhere.
According to [[Yumi]], yoki-hijo must typically create twenty stacks of approximately thirty stones each in order to summon the spirits, though smaller stacks are also sufficient if they have increased complexity.{{book ref|yumi|20}}
