Rumors, Schedules, and Weather
Daily updates regarding events of interest and other developments at the Hundred Stances Dojo can be found here.

The Dojo
Though technically unaligned and administered by the Seppun, the Hundred Stances Dojo and rumors of its secret texts and techniques have drawn the attention of all clans, great and minor.

Students' Quarters
As the dojo is some distance from the nearest settlement, students are boarded on site. Two large rooms have been set up as barracks - one for men, the other for women - where all but the dojo's staff and the most prestigious of visitors are housed.

The Seppun Quarters
In addition to the administrator, Seppun Osokawa, a small detachment of Seppun guardsmen and shugenja are housed on site to keep the peace.

Oshiro's Shrine
A small room, barely large enough to hold four people, has been dedicated to the memory of the enigmatic ronin who developed the Hundred Stances, as well as to Bayushi Sawao, who completed Oshiro's work and founded the dojo.

The Sensei's Quarters
Consisting of a reception area and a private suite - heavily customized by the dojo's previous masters - this area now serves as the home and offices of the current sensei, Doji Hariya.

The Library
While primarily a place for warriors, the Hundred Stances dojo is not lacking a quiet space for the training of the mind. While the dojo's secret texts cannot be found here, treatises on kenjutsu and other topics (notably history, poetry, theatre, and theology) are curated by Seppun Kurou, a helpful and cheerful shugenja.

The Minor Dojo
As the primary dojo is to be used for classes run by the current sensei and is far too small to house all prospective students and challengers, a secondary area has been set aside for practice. Previous master sensei who have been unseated following a successful challenge may remain on-site to do some teaching in this place, as well.

Guests' Quarters
Guests of particular importance - from high-profile visitors and observers to challengers for the sensei's office - are housed separately from the dojo's students. A neutral meeting area is also found here, for those who seek to conduct their affairs away from the often-noisy dojo.

The Armory
While primarily a kenjutsu dojo, the armory can see to the repair and maintenance of all types of weapons and armor, all under the watchful eye of master armorer Miya Haike.

The Baths
After all, it's important to clean up after a long day of training. The baths here are divided - one side for men, the other for women, with no potentially scandalous mixing allowed.

The Restaurant
Open throughout the day rather than only at specific mealtimes, the peasant chef Bentoishi prides himself on his establishment's ability to provide quality nutrition to the dojo's students, visitors, and staff.

The Courtyard
While it is used for overflow training space (as is nearly any other unoccupied area within the complex), a large courtyard provides room for walks, semi-private conversation, and meditation.

The Watchtower
The rumored secret texts and techniques kept within the Hundred Stances Dojo makes it a tempting target for military action in times of war, so a tower was built to watch for signs of impending attacks.
