The Kagenouta clan's origin traced back to a legendary geisha named Hanae, renowned for her extraordinary talents in music, dance, and the healing arts. Her beauty and allure were matched only by her profound knowledge of herbs and natural remedies. It was said that she could soothe both the souls and bodies of those who sought her guidance.

They honed their skills in secret, hidden away from prying eyes, and their performances in the tea houses of Kyoto captivated nobles and commoners alike.

However, they remained resilient, adapting to the changing times while preserving the essence of their heritage.
