Nemuranai |
The Imperial Standard was said it was created by Hantei himself and it held a small portion of the essence of the Kami. [1]
Appearance[]
This nemuranai was shaped in the form of a rectangular flag. The standard was made of the purest white silk and could never be soiled by normal means, so it was always clean and vibrant. The Chrysanthemum flower of the Imperial Families was woven upon it in golden threads. [1] It was used as flag for the Imperial Barge, [2] and it was always the largest banner present at the Imperial Winter Court, hung directly behind the Emperor's dais. [3]
Abilities[]
The J'uma Jirushi remained one of the most cherished possessions of the Imperial Court, for not only was the Imperial Standard imbued with potent magic enough to boost the moral of those who served the Emperor directly, but it was also a distinctive symbol of the Emperors of Rokugan. [1]
History[]
Toturi III[]
In 1168 Hiruma Sakimi participated in the Battle of the Tomb, where she saved the Imperial Standard of the Emperor Toturi III from falling onto the Tainted dirt of the Shadowlands. [4]
