Bonsai Pine

The Bonsai Pine of Iuchi Ramatsu is a reality-bending bonsai tree that shrinks people. The pine bonsai was painsakingly grown in a thimble for forty years during the Unicorn's extended visit outside of Rokugan's borders. The spirit of the tree shrinks a human down to it's own size making it appear as a 'massive, elder elder tree, it is still the size of a delicate woman's smallest finger'. One must bid the tree farewall to return to normal size.

The Pine Bonsai of Iuchi Ramatsu was used in the battle of Malka Oasis. The pine was also used for providing provisions during the Unicorn's long journey. A piece of food remained at normal size while the rest of the caravan remained small. Figs were usually used for these purposes. (Legend of the Five Rings: Roleplaying in the Emerald Empire p. 183)
