Patron family: Ichirō family
Clan: Badger Clan
Founded: Unknown
Daimyō: Unknown

Fureheshu family was a vassal family in service to the Ichirō family of the Badger Clan. Fureheshu Mine was their ancestral seat of power. [1]

Creation[]

Early in the Badger's history, a Badger samurai named Ichirō Fureheshu traveled to Crab lands to study sumai as his clan's founder once had. To prove worthy of a place in the Hida sumai school, he fought alongside Crab bushi in the Shadowlands and earned the name Oni Wrestler for tackling its monsters with his bare hands. While the Crab applauded his courage, they feared his tactics would soon made him fall victim to the Taint. Friends from the Hida sumai school accompanied him on his journey home, and with one he had a child, who became his heir. The Hida school announced that Fureheshu and his descendants were always welcome to train with them, and the Ichirō daimyō was so pleased she granted Fureheshu and his heirs status as a vassal family. As a tradition, at least one Fureheshu of each generation spent time training with the Hida. [2]

Details[]

The Fureheshu held significant sway within the lands of the Badger Clan due to their eminence in the spheres of both sumai and brewing. The Fureheshu family's members took great pride in the traditions that made them distinct from the Ichirō and the spiritual importance of both tasks. The Fureheshu family was small, yet produced a significant number of high-ranking Badger sumai. Often, the Badger Sumai Champion was from this family, while the Badger Clan Champion was an Ichirō. The two families shared a healthy rivalry, which was obvious when any competition takes place. [2] Their brewers distilled sake as delicious as anything made in the heartland. [3]
