Ekawashi

Ekawashi was a village located in Miyama Province in Kozakura.
==Description==
Ekawashi Village was a tranquil peasant community comprising ninety-three buildings that was controlled by the Niwa clan. Despite being the largest settlement in the shoen, it maintained a low-key character.
The unassuming nature of the village was partly due to the decision of the shoen's jito to establish his base in Kuda, a nearby location, rather than in Ekawashi itself. This choice by the jito resulted in minimal disturbance to the daily lives of the villagers by powerful samurai lords.
The absence of high-ranking samurai and the relative peace it brought inadvertently made Ekawashi an attractive haven for a particular type of visitor. Disreputable travelers and noblemen seeking anonymity found the village appealing thanks to its low profile and the reduced likelihood of encountering trouble. This characteristic made Ekawashi a discreet and favored stopover for those who wished to travel incognito or avoid the scrutiny often found in more prominent or heavily patrolled areas.
