Futoi

Futoi was a kihdly heimin farmer who owned a farmhouse and had a son. He hid Kakita Hitoshi, a minor nobleman who had faked his death to escape from a small contingent of Yasuki businessmen who had carried Hitoshi's considerable gambling debt for long enough. Eventually Hitoshi was found by a group of samurai who were investigating his death. Shortly after a large group of thugs surrounded and attacked the house. The farmhouse was set to fire, but the samurai managed to escape.
