Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryū Dōjō. A sacred temple that allows the old and the young to study the way of the katana. It was one of the few, but well maintained historical architectures of Japan. Surrounded by nothing but a sea of forest, one would think the temples' location was at the foot of the mountains. The only way to indicate it was in the city was the skyscrapers towering over all to marvel at.
The oldest known school of Japanese sword instruction. Katori Shinto-Ryu has seen 20 headmasters since it’s inception in 1447. The school engages the katana, bo staff, naginata, the spear, and hand-to-hand jujitsu style combat. The headmasters of Katori Shinto-Ryu are given the title of Living National Treasures of Japan.
Students were both locals and foreigners that wanted to learn the art, some out of curiosity, some thought it was "hip" and "cool", others wanted to preserve the legacy of the previous samurai. Regardless of the reason, the temple accepted all.
It was morning and the shrine maidens awakened from their warm and comfortable futons to get ready for the busy day they had for themselves. Clean the field, mop the floor, dust the dirt, prepare breakfast, gather water. It was their daily job, to do chores for the temple.
A man was walking along the hallowed hallways of the temple, a simple grey kimono was his everyday attire. His sleeves were ripped, showing his strong muscles that were wrapped in bandages all the way to his knuckles. A sword gripped tightly near his hip, his destination was the battlefield where his students were all gathered. A man in his late 30's, a single piercing was on his left ear. A short stubble graced his stern face. All the maidens ceased their activities when they saw him and immediately bowed in respect for the man.

Tōdō Naoya bowed back, thanking the maidens for their hard work every day before continuing his journey. He didn't want to be late, especially since he was the world known famous headmaster of the dōjō. Even more so since he was the youngest headmaster, but more importantly was when two of his top students were going to spar soon.
