Nodoka (Unicorn monk)

Shinjo Nodoka retired to a monastery as Nodoka at an early age after his lord succumbed to a strange fever around the Scorpion Coup. Winter Court: Kyuden Kakita, p. 44
== Winter Court - Kyuden Agasha ==
During Winter Court at Kyuden Agasha the Provincial daimyo Mirumoto Hatsume told he intended to lay claim to the western portion of the Dragon Heart Plain that bordered his lands. Nodoka, the visiting monk at the court, cited the Tao of Shinsei to recommend against the action. Angrily, Hatsume vowed that he would proceed, losing face with the court. With the annexation Hatsume overextended the amount of land they could successfully cultivate, and the province was unable to meet its tax requirements that season. The Mirumoto Daimyo, who had been told of Hatsume's shameful treatment of the monk Nodoka at court, stripped Hatsume of his province. Way of Shinsei, p. 99
