Jukami Mura (TCG)

Jukami Mura, the "Port That Never Sleeps", was a town of the Crane Clan, overlooking Jukami Bay. Courts of Stone, p. 30
== Appearance ==
Jukami Mura was an eclectic old port town pulled up from the silt and the driftwood. The harbor squatted at the bottom of an old crater basin on the southern coast of the Crane, tucked between two high, arching promontories, forming an easily defended natural harbor. The town spread across the basin and up either side. Jukami Mura was full of winding alleys, switchbacks, dead ends, hovels, crooked streets and old, moldering houses. The Merchants' Quarter was rich with caravans and storehouses, sailors and pirates, and rōnin and mercenaries. In order to protect the stability of their hub, the Crane fortified the port with watchtowers, established a guard patrol, and installed an unusual defense mechanism at the entrances to the bay: massive chains attached to either side of the harbor entrances that rested at the bottom of the sea until pulled taut. Soldiers of Shiro Kandai's garrison were trained in sailing and naval warfare, and the daimyō's guard ships patrolled the harbor and the docks day and night. Courts of Stone, p. 31
== History ==
Once piracy and invasion racked the port generation after generation. Several powerful merchants openly opposed Crane rule, and with each act of rebellion, the Crane reinforced their rule, leading finally to the construction of Shiro Kandai Shiro Kandai, the castle complex there, which was finished in 1098, bringing law to the town's disorderly port. With peace districts coalesced, among them the infamous Merchants' Quarter down by the port. Courts of Stone, pp. 8, 31
