The Maiden's Caress was a geisha house in the Shutsuensha District at Toshi Ranbo, property of the Scorpion Clan, which deliberately appealed to those samurai of somewhat less-than-honorable character. The okaa-san was trained by the Shosuro, and might even be a Shosuro agent. It was a dark and largely undecorated building in the center of the district. During the reign of Iweko I it was run by Aikuchi.
