== Legend ==
It was said that sometimes, if traveling alone, one might encounter a blind monk fishing by the side of the river. According to these stories dating from the earliest days of the Empire, the monk would ferry anyone across who could answer his riddle, but if one attempted to pay for passage instead, one inevitably ended up tossed into the water. The Crane had recorded sightings of the mysterious monk by famous samurai, such as the record claiming that Crane Clan Champion Doji Ryobu encountered the monk just before his gempuku, and another claimed a Bayushi general's ill-fated encounter with the monk all but thwarted a Scorpion attempt to grab Yufuku na Heigen Toshi.
