Asahina Handen

Asahina Handen was a Crane noble who visited Kyuden Kakita in 1160 to aid a very ill Kakita Toshiken. His travelling party were attacked by bandits, who made off with several valuable scrolls. Emerald Champion Yasuki Hachi, who was at Kyuden Kakita at the time, took the opportunity of pursuing the bandits to escape the tiresome politics happening at the palace.
