SHIGEKO'S DOSSIER: Doji Sukemara is a well-respected merchant patron of the Crane clan. While he has many vassals, he does not seem to be the busybody patron that many in the city are. He seems careful to maintain time for the finer things - he is a great fancier of ikebana, and he told me he still tries to practice with his katana for an hour every day.
He is of mature years. His wife is so graceful that when one visits, there is found at hand whatever one desires, but she is simultaneously so modest that it's as if one does not even see her serving you.
Currently living with him is Daidoji Emi, the daughter of his wife's brother's sister-in-law.
