Dancing Steel Dojo

Dancing Steel Dojo was a former storehouse located on the southern edge of the Tsuruchi holdings. The unassuming structure was used as dojo in 1152 when Tozuken, a Wasp samurai who had been wounded in battle and could no longer serve in the field, was allowed by Tsuruchi Ichiro to teach. Younger members dissatisfied with the status of the Tsuruchi family gathered there, becoming the headquarters of a new philosophical faction among the younger generation. Tozuken, realizing what was taking place, retired in 1158 to a monastery and was replaced by his student Tsuruchi Shimiko.
