Civility Foremost

Civility Foremost was a Rank 2 earth shūji which taught that were many contexts where violence was inappropriate. For instance, katana and other long swords were not worn in many places, and many strictures existed around the times they could and could not be drawn according to the code of Bushidō. A courtier who had memorized the rules of such engagements could easily turn this to their advantage, finding an excuse that fighting would be improper or profane for nearly any imaginable situation.
