Daidoji Kuranoko

Hanamofu Kuranoko of the Daidoji was the founder of the Kuranoko's Feathers. The dōjō was publicly a cartography and merchant-trade school, but it also served a lesser-known purpose—as a smuggling organization. Its brave souls bypassed blockades and covertly moved supplies. Kuranoko's Feathers viewed themselves as principled couriers and covert suppliers rather than as smugglers. They risked their lives to get medicine to battlegrounds and food to starving villages, or to smuggle artifacts, heirlooms, and people out of besieged cities.
