Shugyōsha

Shugyōsha was the Rokugani term for a warrior on musha shugyō, or warrior pilgrimage. A shugyōsha traveled from place to place, apprenticing themself to master martial artists they met and paying for their training by doing housework, cooking, and other odd jobs for the master. Many shugyōsha took the opportunity to test their skills in, generally, nonlethal duels, especially with other shugyōsha. When they believed they had learned all they needed to learn from a teacher they took their leave and moved on. Path of Waves, p. 13
