Gyushi family

The Gyushi family is a vassal family in service to the Daigotsu family of the Spider Clan.

Founding
Chuda Gyushi was a craftsman and an armourer of the Chuda family. When they betrayed their oaths of loyalty to the Spider Clan once Empress Iweko I namd the Spider a Great Clan, Gyushi forsakes his former line and swears fealty to the Clan Champion Daigotsu Kanpeki.

Duty
Gyushi is accepted into the Daigotsu and granted his own vassal family, alongside an armoury and the promise that if he betrays his lords, it will be the last thing he ever does.

Thus the Spider Clan have come to possess a juhin-kenzoku (i.e. a quartermaster or forging family) like all the other Great Clans.
