Emerald Tournament
In 1123 her brother Yojiro, as an Emerald Magistrate, was given control over planning the Emerald Championship tournament summoned by the Emperor. The Imperial Advisor Bayushi Kachiko asked him to sabotage the tournament, to use his crafting to ensure Bayushi Aramoro became Emerald Champion. Yojiro gave to Mikuru a kanzashi with mirrored beads, and she had to use it during the tournament to blind Aramoro's opponent during the final duel. Should the mirror's reflection be contested, Mikuru must offer to commit seppuku for the dishonor of the accident.
