Kanshiki

Kanshiki was a young shugenja of the Tribe of Isawa who was the sole keeper of a small temple to Ebisu. During the War Against Fu Leng he found himself able to push back the horrors of Jigoku with the power of jade, protecting the temple and those who had taken refuge within it. Kanshiki guessed the holy ground of temples, dedicated to the Fortunes, constituted a part of Ningen-do, and the kami would respond more strongly in such places. Kanshiki studied this phenomenon, eventually choosing several apprentices who became the first of the Isawa Temple Guardians.
