Run into Kruppe. Deliver teacup set. Orca agrees to set up a stall in the market in Hopeful Rest City. Doji Hasu stated he would buy a teacup set (with "taste" of Dream Weeping Blossom sake") for 200 koku... then walks away.

Meet Phoenix clan champion. Shiba Tsukimi. Blind, wears red, hits people with cane. Old woman. Visit her at Kanjiro Dojo. Magical training dojo. No phoenix clan samurai at this dojo; samurai from other clans are present. Advanced training school is to the north, at Isawa Elemental Academy, at Kyuden Isawa.

Bloodwood forest is called "Isawa Mori". Isawa is led by a council, not a daimyo. 3/5 members of council must agree in order to harvest bloodwood from forest.
