Doji Toshiyasu

Doji Toshiyasu was Kyūden Doji's tea master. He lived in the Floating Tea House, within the Fantastic Gardens of the Crane. One of the oldest people at the palace, he was in excellent health for his advanced age, attributing his longevity to a healthy diet and frequent bathing in the hot springs. On nights when the weather was poor he held clandestine salons inside the Floating Tea House to talk over the social events of the past weeks with handpicked individuals of generous character and the utmost discretion.
