Kakita Shijin, Famed Poet
Descrição
The elderly Shijin is one of the most famous living poets in the Empire, having spent a long lifetime perfecting his art. Stooped and thin, with a long wispy goatee, Shijin spends most of his days in Kyūden Doji’s famous gardens, meditating on the beauty around him and writing down the poems it inspires. Although he prefers to avoid the distractions of politics, his long and successful life as a poet has brought him into contact with thousands of samurai from across the Empire, and he can call on innumerable allies and favors at need.
Shijin is rumored to be seeking a student, a personal apprentice he can teach in the ways of poetry. Whether this rumor is true or not, it has made him a focus of attention; his infrequent visits to court always result in samurai eagerly (or desperately) maneuvering for his attention and friendship.
