Msg event.pngProvince icon.pngFumi-e in $PROVINCENAME$


Fumi-e (literally 'stepping-on-pictures') were objects produced during the Edo period to reveal hidden Christians. The practice consisted in forcing suspected Christians of trampling on Christian iconography to prove their 'innocence' with regards to secret Christian worship. A local Daimyo has had success in combating the local Kirishitan community by applying this innovative method.

Msg event.pngThe Sharpness of The Tanto


Disgrace! Ruler, our Han is in a state of collapse, and the name of our family is quickly becoming a Japanese byword for failure and disgrace. While no one has dared suggest it to your face, the precedents of the ancestors are clear. Either we manage to turn the situation around quickly, or we should consider Seppuku, ritual suicide. The blade of the Tanto gleams sharp and cold on your nightstand.

Msg event.pngUnruly Daimyo


Several local Daimyo swearing fealty to our realm have been conspiring against us for some time. The reason for these conspiracies among our own seems to be that many consider our rule to be illegitimate. The unruly Daimyo demand that we divest more power to them, or face an open rebellion.

Msg event.pngKoku Reform


The wealth of our lands is measured in 'Koku', with one Koku being the volume of rice required to feed one person for a year. While this is fairly easy to measure as such, several of the Provinces within our Domain have been consistently misvalued, since the Koku records have not been updated for several years. The outdated records, used among other things for tax collections, are becoming a source of growing discontent within our realm.

Msg event.pngRangaku Books


A European trader trafficking the waters around Japan has landed in our Han and offered to sell us a collection of treatises on western medicine, politics and astronomy. Buying these books would doubtless mean a shift in policy with regard to our Han's openness to trade, and such subversive tomes could destabilize the realm. Not buying the books might be a missed opportunity, but it will on the other hand force us to learn and discover for ourselves.
