The Order of Koshin was a sect of the Brotherhood of Shinsei devoted to Koshin, Fortune of Roads.
Founding[]
In the 4th century a minor branch of the Daidoji family predominantly made up of merchants and traders, came to prominence within the clan following the Emperor's construction of a new series of roads and highways. They fully committed every resource at their disposal in developing merchant caravans, a concept that was not popular at that time. The plan was a great success, and the family patriarch established a monastery to Koshin in the Crane trade city of Heigen Toshi, which remained the largest of Koshin's temples to this day. [1]
