Bayushi's Shrine



Bayushi's Shrine was built to honor the Kami Bayushi.

Paneki's Disgrace
In 1172, during the Plague War, the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Paneki, who had been infected with an illness began to make arrangements for his seppuku. He commited seppuku in the shrine, with Bayushi Shinobu as his second. After performing the three cuts, however, Paneki's body rose as an undead and killed the entire retinue who had followed him there, including Shinobu. The creature became known as Paneki's Disgrace.
