Yoshi (poet)

Yoshi was a ronin poet.

Accused
During his wonderings Yoshi was incarcerated several nights because his traveling papers before his daimyo straightened the matter out. In the jail he met a murderer, Fukuro, who slipped out of his prison cell just hours before his scheduled execution. Days later Yoshi was caught by a group of samurai who claimed him as Fukuro. The resident Emerald Magistrate had given them a copy of Whispers of the Land and a lock of Fukuro's hair in order to help them hunt him down. The samurai eventually realized the mistake, mislead by an accompliance of the murdered. A bushi stationed in the jail, cousin to Fukuro, had taken a lock of Yoshi during his sleep, and passed it to the Magistrate. Both Fukuro and his cousin were captured and executed, leaving Yoshi released from any trouble.
