Seppun Azusa

Please note: This article is about the bushi. For other uses of the term, please see Azusa (disambiguation).
Seppun Azusa was wife to a celebrated poet at Otosan Uchi, Reju Jikai. One day one of his students, Daidoji Eisaku, was knocked down by a horse, and trampled his right hand. The child's father, Daidoji Gombei, hold Jikai accountable for the accident. Azusa stepped forward to defend him from Gombei's ensuing challenge, who deliberately injured her by slicing the nerves in one wrist, rendering her right hand useless. Jikai and Azusa were disgraced, receiving merciful sentences, sent away to rule an insignificant tract of land, Closed-Shell Castle. Jikai became bitter, lonely, and ashamed of his position and his past. Sins of Regret, p. 14

Before Jikai's downfall Azusa was a fierce bushi whose companionship strengthened her husband. After the duel, she spoke to him less every day. Her damaged hand could not grip a sword strongly enough to lift it, let alone wield it. Soon after her arrival, Seppun Azusa had a shrine to Shinsei built. Her reverence had become an obsession, and she often meditated there. Sins of Regret, p. 21
