It was founded by Nanashi, Shinjo Fuyari and their ronin army, [3] [5] roughly equidistant between the City of the Rich Frog and Kyuden Tonbo. [6]

Limitations[]

The ronin were not allowed any obvious defenses, and a limit on the city guard size. The Dragon watched the village with a careful eye, and fortunately there had been no major incidents. Any ronin who arrived at Nanashi Mura was asked no questions about their past, so long as they caused no further trouble. [3]
