Aotora no Kouen

Aotora no Kouen, the Garden of the Green Tiger, is the beautiful garden where Aotora performed most of his botanical research commanded by Bayushi Shoju. Aotora was not only a devoted researcher, he was also a master gardenr, and he passed his knowledge on to his children. The Garden of the Green Tiger is lush and beautiful at first glance, with perfectly pruned bushes, a gurgling stream, and well-tended cherry trees. Camouflaged among the foliage, however, are hundreds of different plant varieties used in creating medecines, poisons, and antidotes. Any herbalist who visits the garden recognizes them immediately. Anyone wishing to create a herbal poison, antidote, or medicine can find what he seeks in this place. (SoScorpion, p. 24)
