Gaijin pepper

Gaijin pepper is another name for gunpowder. It was used by the gaijin in the Battle of the White Stag. Because of its destructive power in that battle, the Emperor banned the use of gaijin pepper for martial purposes. The Agasha have been known to make and use gaijin pepper for fireworks. Others, such as the ninja or kolat, may have used gaijin pepper in small doses for distractions or small bombs.
