Soshi Toraburu

Soshi Toraburu was a prominent shugenja of the Scorpion Clan in the 10th century.

Married
As a a political arrangement he married with an Asahina Shugenja, Asahina Meiwaku. She quickly realized her new family had ostracized her, and spent many years alone in Toraburu's home. After one of his long business trips Meiwaku gifted him with a fan, and entrusted Toraburu to gave it to her father at first occasion.

Meiwaku fans
He kept his promise, and during dinner Toraburu noticed he could hear the old man's thoughts as the Crane spoke to him wielding his daughter's fan. Upon his return Toraburu begged his wife to make more fans, and in return she asked for a second gempukku ceremony and that she be officially accepted into the family and the Clan. During the ritual performed by Toraburu the Soshi Daimyo and a full-fledged delegation of Soshi members were there. On every anniversary of that ceremony, she gave her husband a new fan.
