Aotora Minowa

Aotora Minowa was a herbalist of the Scorpion Clan and ownership of an economic empire.

Herbalist
Minowa was given a teashop to use a front for herbal concoctions investigations. The shop became very successful and some said he used his herbalist knowledge to add substances to his tea to make it addictive, which was not true.

The Mikado
The first teashop was the start of a chain of teashops, teahouses and inns throughout Ryoko Owari. The Mikado was the peak of his economic empire, a restaurant made of the finest material available at Rokugan, and employed the finest cooks and staff. It was special because the whole building could be dissasembled, packed up, and moved to a new location.

Death at the Mikado
In 1169 in the Month of the Dog the Mikado sat on the Plains of Thunder, where the Jade Championship was held. Before the tournament ended Seppun Shogo was found murdered there. Seppun Katsura conducted the investigation and Bayushi Takaharu was found guilty and executed.
