Shiho

Shiho was a peasant vassal of Shiba Shonagon. He ran the silver smithy known as the Star of Silver in Ryoko Owari Toshi, and the profits made there allowed Shonagon to live a comfortable life. One of Shiho's workers at the smithy was a crafter maiden of great talent, Takako.City of Lies: Location Guide, p. 32
== Shonagon's death ==
His Lady wrote Memoirs of an Opium Eater which referred to Shiho as 'Dear Friend', but the book was only published after her death. Shiho regreted that Shonagon had died a shameful death because he believed that the money raised by the Star of Silver had aided quickening demise.
