Description

A wise family honours the kami of the land.

A clan estate improves the collection of taxes within its province. It also provides entertainments for the nobility and gentry, and shirabyoshi are trained there. Almost regardless of time and place in human history, powerful men have made a point of controlling large tracts of land, often depriving farmers of ownership in the process. Before the arrival of industry, and without craftsmen working in large groups, land and wealth were inextricably linked. A lord's landholding defined his status with his peers, his underlings, and at the Imperial Court; enough land and enough wealth could even overcome any doubts or uncertainties about family or personal honour.
