It was placed on the east end of the Imperial Mound, in the middle of the way of the Road of Fast Hopes, the road which led to the Imperial Palace, so the yoriki and Otomo commanders could check the Travel papers of every visitor. It was the primary home and courtly center of the Otomo. [1] It housed the Kyuden Otomo Dojo. [2]

Relocation[]
New Kyuden Otomo
After the destruction of Otosan Uchi, the Otomo family was without a home. Doji Tanitsu convinced the Otomo [6] and the Crane Clan provided the Otomo with everything they needed, and even though many of the Otomo moved to Toshi Ranbo wo Shien Shite Reigisaho when the new capital was established there, they maintained a healthy presence here near their Crane allies [7] in the Doji provinces, [8] within the Kazenmuketsu province. [9]
Since the Otomo family's relocation, their new home stood atop a low cliff in the Heart of Umi Yakamo, looking down on a modest but well-equipped town whose residents were sworn vassals of the Imperial family. [10] The Emperor's Will Court was the new dojo. [11]
