Chibasu

Chibasu was a Crane Way of the Thief, p. 39 farming village in the northern part of the Lion Clan territory, near the Dragon Clan border. Its farms were large and well kept, and every year caravans were able to carry bales of barley and wheat to all parts of the Lion lands. It was close to another Lion village, Rugashi, Deception, by Brian Yoon within the Oiku province. Secrets of the Lion, p. 96 The villagers tended to a few acres of barley fields next to the river Chibakawa. 
== Serpents of Sanada ==
A hidden cove near the village was a hideout for the Serpents of Sanada. The pirates worked out a very profitable exchange with the local peasants, who would usually farm barley and fish to make ends meet. In exchange for secrecy, Sanada bribed the headman with a very small share of profits and provided food to the starving peasantry. The pirates lent use of one of their kobune to the village, and patrolled for bandits, protecting the town from attack. The hideout and bay were just on the other side of the hill from the village. Illusions hid the bay and the fort itself from the perusal of any who might find it by accident. Way of the Thief, pp. 39-41
== Drunken Tiger ==
In 1168 the village was stormed by bandits led by the man known as Drunken Tiger.
