Asako Reiha

Please note: This article is about the betrothed to Shiba Tsatsuro. For other uses of the term, please see Reiha (disambiguation).
Asako Reiha was a Phoenix who in the 10th century was betrothed to Shiba Tsatsuro. Unexpectedly the wedding was called off, and Tsatsuro claimed in public his bride was unfaithful. It led to the Asako family losing face as the wedding vows were broken on the very night before the marriage, so Reiha committed seppuku. Midnight's Blood, pp. 17-18

Reiha's oldest brother discovered the duplicity of Isawa Kuzushi, the selected shugenja to preside over the wedding. He had acted blinded for his passion upon Reiha, hoping to ask for her hand once the wedding was broken. Midnight's Blood, p. 18
