Chirichi family

The Chirichi family was a tiny vassal family of the Yoritomo family of the Mantis Clan.

Duties
The Chirichi were a Juhin-Kenzoku, a quartermaster or forgery family, of the Mantis Clan. Although the Mantis frequently commissioned armor from outside the clan due to a shortage of materials and smiths, the Chirichi crafted a modest quantity of armor for the clan. They were known to have developed a form of heavy armor that could be removed quickly.
