Kyoto. The seat of power in Japan. A seat ripe for the taking for those who have the will and strength. Katashi, a general in the service of the great daimyo Oda Nobunaga, muses that his lord will soon be sitting in that seat.
Katashi has spent the last day in the city gathering intelligence, getting the lie of the land and listening for the movements of other warlords roaming throughout the countryside, enemies of the Oda who would take everything the clan has fought to build. Two names continue to rise the highest among the din: Takeda Shingen, the Tiger of Kai, and Uesugi Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo. Both men aren’t to be underestimated and Katashi plans to deliver news of their movements to Nobunaga. As soon as he’s finished enjoying all the pleasures the city has to offer on his week-long stay.
A man of large appetites, the general struts through the pleasure district of Kyoto with his men, drinking their way through tavern after tavern. After a while, Katashi directs them towards a brothel and as they stagger into the place, the general calls to the madam to show him her wares.
