Shimushigaki

The Shimushigaki was a powerful gaki returned from the spirit relamsfollowing the second rampages of Iuchiban.

In 8630, twelve shugenja valiantly sacrificed their own lives to banish the gaki.

A shrine was erected in their memory, and the monks of that shrine believe that so long as the Bells of the Dead ring regularily the Shimushigaki cannot return to the mortal world.
