Bayushi Hamanari

Bayushi Hamanari was a courtier of the Scorpion Clan.

The Riddle
Hamanari lived in the Kanjo district of Otosan Uchi. He began to paint the walls of the shops and houses with ciphered kanji. No one could discover the cause and nature of the symbols, and those men quickly succumbed to Hamanari's mysterious charm in turn, and soon began painting beside him.

Nazomachi
The people moved on, finding it easier to move than fight the thin Bayushi. The abandoned buildings were known as Nazomachi. Centuries later Hamanari continued to scrawl across the walls of his home, waiting for someone to unlock the kanji's secret wisdom.
