[edit] History
The style of Kakita became the famed Kakita Iaijutsu school, and he passed on his knowledge to any who had the ability and discipline to learn. He created the first dojo, and taught his students the way of honorable combat. All of his five children excelled at dueling, and his son Kakita Shimizu became the first Iaijutsu Master of the Kakita Dueling Academy. Training in the school is hard, and graduates of the school have become some of the finest duelists in Rokugan's history. Since it's founding each Emperor has also sent their sons to study both the physical and intellectual teachings of the school. (Crane pp. 27-28)
[edit] Kakita Mon
The Kakita mon is a crane's wing outstretched around an unsheathed katana. The unsheathed katana is a symbol of war and a reminder to the Kakita family that they must always be prepared to defend the Crane house and Imperial line from their enemies. (Crane p. 28)
