Toshi sano Kanemochi Kaeru

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

Please note: This article is about the Lion city near the Unicorn Clan. For the former Crane, now Lion city, please see Kaeru Toshi.

The City of the Rich Frog, sometimes confusingly nicknamed "Kaeru Toshi", is a holding that has been long contested by the Lion and Unicorn Clans. During the Unicorn's travels, the Lion were given control of the city, but upon their return, the Lion were forced to return the holding. The Unicorn ruled the city for the next several centuries, though sometimes without any official presence from the clan. During this time the administrators of the prospering city were the Kaeru family, a family of ronin and merchants. When they petitioned the Imperial Courts for protection the Lion Clan answered, and made the Kaeru a vassal family of the Ikoma. The Unicorn did however not receive this well, for the Khan percieved the city to be his, and war broke out. The War of the Rich Frog lasted for two years, involving other clans such as the Scorpion and Dragon Clan. The city was finally placed firmly in the control of the Lion following the war.

[edit] Dojo

The city is home to the dojo of the Badger Clan, the Fallen Mountain Dojo. (Samurai p. 75)
