Maybe, for something like Tales of the Otori, there is a genre called "Historical Fantasy".
An XBOX/PC-game called "Jade Empire" (Bioware, 2005-2007) falls in what is called the wuxia genre: this basically is a genre of movies/books/games that use ancient China as inspiration, but everything is completely made up, and people often have superhuman capabilities.
If Tales of the Otori had been placed in a fictional ancient China-like country instead of Japan-like, it would have been wuxia instead of fantasy.
