A Man for a Job, Chris Hoffmann

Kitsuki Rikuto, had been tasked with the responsibility of preparing for the “rebuilding” Kyuden Tombo as a residence of the empress. A number of other architects form across the empire would be gathering at the “palace” within the next several months. For a project of this size one of the first tasks would be to build a small temple to the fortune of construction so that the Architects could be inspired.

Rikuto was far too busy to perform this task himself and so he was thinking of one of his young shugenja, Kitsuki Gegeki to perform the task. He knew the man would never be a great shugenja, or at least was informed so by his court shugenja before he had requested the boy sent to his province. The boy came from a good line and had been sent to study with the Tamori because he had made connections to the kami in his youth.

Rikuto had known Geigeki’s father and saw that the boy had an interest in architecture when Geigeki was a child. Because of this, Rikuto had sent the young man to assist with the construction of the Shrine to Toturi Kaede the Fortune of Noble Sacrifice (SoB4). A report had come back from Mirumoto Iwa stating that the young man had done well, improving the physical and spiritual design shrine. Rikuto could see no one better to oversee the construction of the new shrine for the fortune of construction in Kyuden Tonbo.
