What once belonged to a powerful clan now lay abandoned between Karakura’s highest peaks.

A lone hut that has survived the harsh elements and centuries of erosion. The location was believed to be closest to the heart of Karakura, thus giving the clan a claim over the sacred land. The Takagi Clan constructed this home for Lady Tsugumi Takagi in the 17th century.

The structure became home to many correspondences between Lady Takagi and other important figures. Many scrolls have withered through time, leaving much history lost. Though the ones that survived tell the story of Lady Takagi, detailing her importance to Karakura City of that era. Due to the Lady’s influence, the mountain hut also became a refuge for those who were lost and in need of guidance and advice.

When the Itsbyoshi Court was founded, this hut held many discussions about Karakura City. Members of the court were all hand-selected by Lady Takagi. Every family inducted into the court held influence on Karakura Island, as well as the city.

Once the Court became obsolete, long after the passing of Lady Takagi, the hut was no longer of use. The Takagi Clan believed there to be no more use in the building, it was left deserted. The elements laid waste to the structure, leaving it a skeleton of its past glory. Through the trials of time, there are still many correspondences and scrolls that have survived, revealing a glimpse into her past. Bringing tales to life and bringing to light forgotten history.

It is believed that Lady Tsugumi Takagi still roams those deserted walls, searching for the members of the court she founded. Whispers of ancestry echo through the halls, waiting for a response from her assembly. She is rumored to reveal herself to any who bare the blood of the Itsbyoshi families. Haunting any others who dare tarnish her memory, or her home. These claims have little backing, but countless tales to be discovered and heard.
