Yes, these historical profiles are full of specialized words and… names! But who knows when some of these new words and names will pop up in your other readings.
Yumi wrote this, so if you’d like me to ask her about specific words, I’ll be happy to ask her (she’s not here right now). But choosing kana or kanji is often a style choice of the author.
Also, there are many words like たいへん that have a kanji version (大変) but are most often written in hiragana.
