Within the family Edit
Kuni Mon Edit
The Kuni mon was a pair of red crab claws, crossed over a cream-colored field and surrounded by a circle of blue. It represented the Kuni's search for the great mysteries of the universe, and reminded them that such mysteries might often be found within themselves. [1]
Anatomy and BiologyEdit
Kuni were very often skilled in the arts of the physical form, understanding anatomy and the mixture of the five elements in the body. Their training generally was steeped in biology and constuction of the living form. Their magic tended towards wards and bindings, either holding bodies in a location or preventing bodies from entering (or leaving) a place. The concept of a spirit possessing a body was of great interest to the Kuni and, as the oni were spirits made flesh, they were even more interesting. [3]
Passing KnowledgeEdit
Each Kuni had a part of the family library in their care, the system had it's advantages and disadvantages. Exchanging knowledge between two shugenja could be difficult and few shugenja had an all-encompassing mastery of the school. It was, however, difficult to destroy any significant portion of Kuni learnings. They held annual meetings in Kyuden Hida every winter behind closed doors to discuss their findings over the past year. [4]
Kuni Witch HuntersEdit
The Kuni Witch Hunters came about after Iuchiban attacked Rokugan. Also known as Tsukai-sagasu, they study the martial arts of their fellow Crab as well as the magical arts of their family. After their training was complete they set out to destroy the Shadowlands in any form they find it. Most traveled north into Rokugan to search for Shadowlands creatures that might have slipped through the wall. [5]

Schools of the KuniEdit
They had no physical school, instead teaching their students directly and only one or two at a time. Their students were very often close relatives. They went to great lengths to understand the creatures of the Shadowlands, including capturing live specimens to study and dissecting dead ones. The tragedy of their scholarly pursuits was that members of the Kuni family were the most susceptible of all Rokugani to succumb to the Taint. The retaking of Kuni lands after their destruction by the army of The Maw left the land known as the Kuni Wastes. [7]
