Clans

<b>Clan Shimazu</b><br>

<u>General Information</u><br>
The Shimazu clan start in the south of Kyushu, a seperate island that offers them better security. The daimyo does not expand ôutside of his island, being quite content with what he has. This does not mean that he is a weak leader, but a teritorial leader - cross his border and you will pay.
