The Kyuden Suzume Dojo was the dojo of the Sparrow Clan, where the Suzume Bushi were trained. The tiny and reclusive Sparrow Clan was often overlooked by the Empire at large. Rarely did the samurai of the Sparrow venture forth from their home to experience Rokugan, and rarer still did the other clans take notice of such individuals. Only after the ascension of the slightly unorthodox daimyo Suzume Yugoki at the end of the Clan War did this change. Yugoki encouraged the Sparrow to take a larger role in the affairs of the Empire.
