The Hidari district, referred to by the Sentaku Tribunal as “the Emperor’s Road” district, was the one of the outer districts of Otosan Uchi. It was named for its governor, Asahina Hidari. Many of the most famous shops, inns, and other buildings were seen alongside the Road of the Most High. It was one of the entrance to the city, so to this strategic district the Emperor appointed governors as a matter of pride and honor, changing hands more than any other district in the city.
