People

Seppun Hanako was a bushi of the Imperial Families and founder of the Hanako family.

Station[]

Hanako reached her gempukku during the reign of Hantei XVI, originally a member of the Seppun Miharu. [1] Against all odds, she survived the Steel Chrysanthemum's rule, but Hanako witnessed countless atrocities during his reign. [2]

Imperial Chancellor[]

Hanako promoted through the ranks until she was one of the personal guards for his successor, the young and inexperienced Hantei XVII. Eventually the Emperor learned of Hanako's research and works about how to reform the Empire's laws. [1] She eagerly agreed to assist him, and the Emperor named her his Chancellor, [2] and followed with Hantei XVIII. [3]

Articles of Heaven[]

Hanako took this opportunity not only to correct the misdeeds of the previous emperor, but also to enact a variety of reforms into which she had put great thought. In 622, her reforms, called the Articles of Heaven, became the new basis for Rokugani law. [2] [4]

Vassal Family[]

Hanako was granted her own vassal family, the Hanako. [5]
