Mitsurugi Bakufu

The Mitsurugi Bakufu was the true ruling power in Hingashi, led by Kanzan Mitsurugi following the Age of Blood. The Mitsurugi Bakufu worked to unite the various clans of Hingashi under a single banner without robbing them of the freedoms they had spent almost a millennia fighting for. While it faced resistance from some clans, overall the people were quite happy to see an end to the bloodshed and were willing to cooperate with the government.

The Bakufu itself is a multi-tiered government system each run by a different political officer, all reporting to the Bugyo at the top. In the Mitsurugi Bakufu, the people are placed in a caste system, meaning one's place in society is decided at birth, and cannot be changed under normal circumstances.
