3.1. Estadísticos descriptivos
the Yonhosu Valley.
Uzume - A goddess of fertility, merriment, dance and the arts, she is famous for performing a dance for Amaterasu to lure her back into the world. Uzume is the patron of dancers and entertainers, is honored as the originator of dancing, and is acknowledged as the Bringer of the Dawn.
Waka - Consisting of 31 syllables, waka is a form of po-etry popular among the aristocracy.
Wakibiki - Designed to protect the armpit area, wakibiki are guards made from leather with small metal plates attached. The pair ties around the neck and across the chest to distribute their weight around the torso.
Wakizashi - A short sword with a slightly curved edge, the wakizashi is the katana’s companion blade in a samurai’s daisho. This sword is also popular among members of the noble class who aren’t members of the warrior class but who wear the weapon as a mark of status.
War Fan - A weapon favored by kunoichi (fe-male shinobi), aristocratic ladies and a few male courtiers, the war fan is made with the same craftsmanship as a normal fan, from very cheap models using canvas to the more expensive ones with rich silk and lace brocades with gold filigree. What all these models have in common is that the fan’s spikes are made of metal and end in razor-sharp points, which can slash a target when the fan is opened or stab him when it’s closed.
Warai-hito - Known as the Laughing Man, Warai-hito is a cunning and flawless assassin. It is said that his vic-tims never see him, but they all hear his quiet laughter as their life is snuffed out. Warai-hito is the leader of the shinobi Yabun-Tsume clan.
Tsume Clan - Called the Night Claw, or Yabun-Tsume clan, this shinobi clan operates out of Toukai and has been working in the Han almost since its in-ception.
Ya-Yohi - “Grass Grows Dense” is the 3rd month in a twelve-month annual cycle of the calendar used in the Yonhosu Valley.
Yakuza - The elite of the criminal underworld is known as the yakuza. The yakuza doesn’t describe a mono-lithic criminal organization with overarching goals and methods, but rather a great number of gangs and minor groups that operate within a similar variety of traditions and customs.
Yamaken - 1) The thickest part of Kitsunemori lies within the borders of the Yamaken Han. A haven for mystics and religious people, Yamaken has a great number of shrines and geomantic power nodes, which brings the people good fortune.
2) The Yamaken clan (along with the Kitaishi clan) were the first humans to settle in the Yamaken Han.
Yamaken no Kinnojo - The Shinto high-priest of the Shrine to Inari in Yamaken, Yamaken no Kinnojo is a powerful Shinto monk who seeks to purify the Yon-hosu Valley.
Yari - A yari is a polearm that combines the qualities of a short lance (for dealing double damage during a mounted charge and triple damage in case of a critical hit on a mounted charge) and a regular polearm that can be set against a charge.
Yomi - Yomi is the shadowy land of the dead, and is presided over by the god Emma-O.
Yonhosu Valley - The Yonhosu Valley is an ancient riv-er valley bordriv-ered by the Torayama Mountains on the east and the Shirokage mountain chain to the north and west.
Yu - One of the seven virtues of bushido, yu calls on the samurai to exemplify courage.
Yumi - A yumi is a composite shortbow used as a weapon and for hunting in the Yonhosu
Val-ley.
Yugake - Yuagake are leather gloves with hardened thumb and forefinger to assist in drawing the powerful daikyu bow.
Yuki-Onna - Yuki-Onna, the Lady of the Snow, appears each winter somewhere in
the Yonhosu Valley. This woman of astounding beauty drifts across the snow with an unearth-ly grace. Her hair is the color of ice, and a white mist curls around her blue lips.
Zanbatou - This legendary weapon is known to exist but is rarely seen in actual combat. The zanbatou is an imposing large slab of metal the size of a person, more than an inch thick, and about a palm and a half wide with a long, sturdy handle.
Zanshin - Zanshin is a relaxed state of alertness, which all samurai aspire to attain. It allows samurai to imme-diately react to danger without hesitation.
Zasu - The head warrior-monk of a monastery is called a ‘zasu’ or leader.
Zasu Kondo no Ukyo - Commanding the sohei from within their mountain temple, Zasu Kondo no Ukyo leads the warrior-monks and the resistance move-ment in Sairyuukoe.
Zen - Zen is a branch of Buddhism that extols a life of strict discipline and meditative reflection.
Zocho - Zocho, the patron kami of the Toukai clan, is one of the four guardian kami who keep the world safe from demon attack. He is known as the guardian of the South.
