Daidoji Asahi

Hiramichi no Daidoji Asahi was a merchant lord of the Crane Clan. In 1117 his friend Doji Miyuki arranged with Shika Hisatsugu a proposed match with Ide Riku, another lord merchant with several holdings along the Crane-Crab border, including an inn that was his greatest pride. Riku and Asahi loved each other. The proposal cited their compatible star signs and temperaments, and it included written testimony saying that he and Asahi had known one another since childhood. The proposal also named a war-orphaned Doji child to be adopted by the pair, ensuring that these unified holdings would be inherited by the Crane.
