Bishamon Seido

The Shrine to Bishamon, the Fortune of Strength is elaborate and ornate, maintained by no fewer than one hundred Kitsu shugenja and priests. Overall it is one of the best maintained buildings in Lion lands, and hosts the training grounds for the elite Matsu unit the Lion's Pride. Any males who wish to set foot on these training grounds must accept a challenge to prove their sincerity and strength in battle. (3E p. 293)
