The dock at the end of Timber Street technically belongs to the
merchant Sharp, but everyone knows its true master is Bayushi Korechika. Though the samurai never openly visits
except during times of trouble, there are perpetual rumors that he
appears in disguise to keep an eye on his business. This business
is, of course, the storage and transport of opium poppies.
The business Korechika conducts within Ryoko Owari is completely legal.
