Kikage Zumi

The Kikage Zumi are the Tattooed Monks of the Hitomi family. The order of Hitomi were founded when Hitomi became the Dragon Clan Champion after the death of Togashi in 1128. She would tattoo men and women in the same way that Togashi had done previously. After her ascension to become Lady Moon the order continued to worship her. New tattoes would occur spontaneously, and taken as a blessing from Lady Moon. Sometimes children of Hitomi monks who did not choose a life of celibacy will be born with such gifts. (3E p. 127)
