The ancestral home of the Watanabe was Beautiful Dawn Port, just north of Toshi no Inazuma. The Watanabe existed to do more than simply build ships, it consisted entirely of members of the bloodlines of Gusai, the first Mantis Clan Champion to earn the clan a family name. Those of Gusai blood maintained their broth­erhood when their family was stricken from history, being a de facto vassal family of the Yoritomo. Yoritomo Aramasu patroned the Watanabe to shelter the descendants of the disgraced Gusai family. Secrets of the Mantis, pp. 29-30
