Ishiyama
Gen'tarou
Yori'ie
Ishiyama-dono is the eldest son of a noble family in Momoyama Japan. As was common in Japan, his father's family was summoned to the Imperial capital to be exposed to the court and to assure his father's loyalty. While in the capital he has become somewhat known as a courtier, but has spent his spare time learning the noble crafts of Japan.
For his meritorious involvement, Ishiyama was granted arms on October 22nd, AS 46 at Agincourt. His device is blazoned, "(Fieldless) On a hexagon Or, a rabbit's head cabossed Sable".
Bugei - The arts of war
Ishiyama is not a warrior himself, but he has become associated with Clan Yama Kaminari and by watching them has learned much of the ways of the Bushi. While he does not fight, he seeks to emulate their nobility and service. He has also learned much by observing and helping Sir Maghnus an Chnoic na n'Iora, the head of his household.
Bungei - The arts of society
Ishiyama has become somewhat accomplished at several traditional crafts, including:
- Wafuku - The clothing of Japan
- Mokkou - Woodworking and carpentry
- Kumihimo - Braided cords
For his meritorious accomplishments, Ishiyama has been inducted into the Kingdom of Æthelmearc's Order of the Fleur on October 22nd, AS 46 at Agincourt.
Giri - Duty to others
Ishiyama has dedicated himself to helping his household, clan, barony, kingdom, and society. He teaches classes, creates objects, and contributes time. His involvement is limited by available time, but he tries to make the most of it.
For his service to the crown of Æthelmearc during the reign of Christopher III and Morgen III, Ishiyama was inducted into the Order of the Sigil of Aethlemearc on September 17th, AS 46 at the Coronation of Isenwulf and Rosalinda.
