People

Shiba Itami of House Nasu was the Nasu Daimyo, vassals of the Shiba.

Station[]

Itami was appointed as Provincial Governor, and took stewardship of Shiro Shiba during Shiba Tsukimi was absent. [1]

Politics[]

Itami was a young and beautiful courtier who decided that the days of the withdrawn Nasu family were over. In the Imperial Court she approached the Scorpion and Crane to become the pre-eminent courtly family in the Phoenix Clan. Only Doji Nagori responded favorably to her efforts and that response was far more likely due to her physical appearance than genuine respect. [2] She was described as "pretty and well-schooled, but naive" by Nagori. [3] In the court she used to meet with courtiers of low status, as Kakita Gosha. [4]

Naseru manipulates the Court

Naseru's ploy in action

Itami was stationed in the minor court of Nikesake, to resolve minor issues between the Phoenix and the Crane ambassadors. [5] She was pretty and well-schooled, but also naïve and inexperienced, and Hantei Naseru used her as a channel to spread the rumor of an allegiance between the Emerald Champion and himself. [3] [6]
