Seppun Fijimira

Seppun Fijimira was a Seppun Miharu in the 4th century. He snatched from the air a poisoned arrow intended for the Emperor's son, dying in his chambers for the contact poison. When the Emperor knew of it he declared Fijimira's katana as the Ancestral Sword of the Seppun. Every bearer of Fijimira's Glory had died protecting the Emperor within three years of first drawing it.
