Kosaten Shiro

Construction
Historically the Daidoji family have been the military arm of the Crane Clan, having dealt with centuries of agression from the Lion Clan. In the end they realised that moving troops from Shiro Daidoji every time Lion troops were spotted was rather ineffective and a new fortress, Kosaten Shiro, was created, located between Crane lands and Shiro Matsu. The Daidoji know they cannot match the Lion in strength or numbers, but instead they learn the methods of skirting on the edges of dishonor, using ambushes, sabotage, explosives and exploting the lay of the land to their advantage. They are the masters of guerilla warfare, and it is the only reason they have survived for so long.

Base of Operations
During the Clan War and War of Spirits Kosaten Shiro served as the center for the Crane military machine. During the Crane Civil War it also served as the Daidoji primary fortress.

School
Kosaten Shiro is the location of the Kosaten Shiro Dojo.
