Silken Smile Theater

The Silken Smile Theater was an extremely popular playhouse founded in the year 231 in Shiro no Shosuro. Secrets of the Scorpion, p. 34
== Plays ==
Many plays had been written with events that happened there. Inspired to fury and passion by works portrayed on the playhouse's stage many samurai had lost their lives, honor, or both shortly after visiting this theater.  The Smile also served to shame and destroy particularly problematic individuals without openly admitting the Scorpion Clan was doing so. Book of Air, p. 62
