Daidoji Itoru

Daidoji Itoru was a bushi of the Crane Clan. In 1165 his lord Daidoji Kikaze ordered him to carry a message to the sensei of the Asahina Temples. Asahina Barako rebuked him, delaying the delivery of the message until Itoru could find a place to store his daisho. Barako considered an insult to bring blades to the sacred grounds of the Asahina.
