Shiba Kuriko was wife to Shiba Kenji, a Tax Collector. 
== Death ==
After several strange incidents in Kenji's work, her husband was moved to the village of Porisuko. Near the village a mujina appeared, spooking Kuriko's pony, throwing her off and then trampled her to death in panic. The trickster spirit had followed Kenji, and the creature had been the cause of all his problems before. Her husband made a shrine dedicated to her in his new residence, and vowed he would join his wife in the afterlife as soon as he finally kills the mujina. Strongholds of the Empire, pp. 159-162
