Seppun Reizo

Seppun Reizo was a Seppun Magistrate. In 1170 Kakita Noritoshi spoke about the Emerald Champion Shosuro Jimen in Reizo's court, charging him with dishonorable behavior. Reizo was the magistrate present but did not challenge Noritoshi to defend the Emerald Champion's honor. Reizo said Jimen's honor was beyond the need for defending. After Noritoshi had convinced a number of the higher-ranking samurai present, he departed. When Jimen knew of Reizo's words he told that a honorable man and a diligent and effective magistrate would be missed by him greatly, after he passed away.
