The House of Midnight Blossoms was a geisha house in the ronin village of Porisuko. It began as a group of camp-followers staying in the same place to make things convenient for their men, where new female arrived to the growing village. It was named after an off-color joke made by a drunken ronin about flowers blooming only at night. The geisha of this establishment became known as the Blossoms. In 1170 the manager was Ryou.
