I, Shimaza Yoshimasa, am Patriarch of the Shimazu clan which resides in Satsuma province. My province may be poor but the spirit of my warriors is bright and our honor rich with valor! Our clan demands the land promised by the Shoguns of years past. If the Shogun is too weak to give us our just reward, then we claim right to act on our own behalf as it has always been.

Buddha's compassion go with you.
