Kenson no Gakka

Meiyo no Shiro, Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 16 Castle of Honor, or Humility's Lesson, was the largest Lion keep against the mountainous Scorpion border. Fields of Victory, p. 54
== Seized by the Scorpion ==
Originally belonging to the Ikoma, the castle was infiltrated and taken by the Scorpion Clan in the sixth century. Renaming it Castle of Honor, the Scorpion intended to use it as a bargaining chip in their campaign to seize Kyūden Ikoma. 
== Seized by the Lion ==
In the year 533 the Scorpion Clan launched an attack on Ikoma Castle, but they failed. In retribution, the Matsu attacked the Scorpion fortress of Meiyo no Shiro. After taking the fortress, they killed every single Scorpion in it and, to underline the point, renamed it Kenson no Gakka, Humility's Lesson. From there, the Matsu staged their forces to press into Scorpion lands through the southern Beiden Pass, eventually coming within sight of Kyūden Bayushi before the Scorpion lobbied for Imperial intervention. The Matsu gained a foothold into Scorpion territory in the resulting trade. In honor of their victory the Matsu hold an annual festival on the anniversary of the castles recapture, marked with imported fireworks and boisterous song.
