Asako Haruko

Please note: This article is about the courtier. For other uses of the term, please see Haruko (disambiguation).
Asako Haruko was a courtier of the Phoenix Clan. In 1129 during the Imperial Winter Court Haruko mocked Iuchi Xien for his name and his other gaijin mannerisms. The Unicorn challenged him to a duel, with the nature of Bushido as the subject of the debate. Xien refuted Haruko's entire argument with his, and raised several questions that she could not answer. Xien's hidden oratory skill impressed everyone at the court, and Haruko conceded defeat. Art of the Duel, p. 114
