Retsu no Gyoshonin

Known as Peddler's Row.

It is the only road in Crab territories that samurai from other clans are allowed to pass freely along.

It was constructed by the Kaiu, primarily for moving troops quickly along the Kaiu Kabe.

Over the last thousand years the road has become more of a hotbed of merchants, tradesmen and hucksters looking to profit from the heavy traffic.

A man could hardly walk twelve yards without passing another merchant.

The road has also frequent appearances by impromptu geisha houses and jugglers.

Almost all of the businesses along the road are controlled by the Yasuki. They are very strict about who can set up shop there and Crane are completely banned.
