Shinjo Ichijo

Shinjo Ichijo was a magistrate of the Unicorn Clan. He sought a criminal, who found within Shinden Osano-Wo, as one of the temple's novices. The monks did not let Ichijo to catch the new brother, unless the magistrate underwent the same initiation. The training of an Osano-Wo's sohei was renowned in the Empire, and the famous scarred monks and brutal initiation would scare many samurai. So great was Ichijo's hatred for the murderer he sought that the magistrate completed the ritual. Ichijo understood that his judgment was nothing compared to the demands Osano-Wo now placed on the repentant criminal.
