Saibanshoki

Saibanshoki was Rokugan's largest and oldest willow tree. Growing straight from the water in an island at the center of the junction of the Three Sides River and the Drowned Merchant River, its thick trunk was over twenty yards across and covered in centuries-old carvings. At its base were five berths for small rivercraft and steps winding up to the City of the Rich Frog governor's manor. Legend had it that
the willow tree shaded the home of a mischievous frog spirit, the god of the river junctions, and that the evening song of croaking frogs was that same spirit's love song for the kodama spirit of the tree. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 88
