"Buddha's blessing! Uncle, your fleet is heading north to Ezo land, at which Daimyo domains are you stopping for resupply along the way? Given the current chaos, and with the ships fully loaded with goods, you must be extremely careful!…"
"Hmm, as the world grows increasingly chaotic, the land trade routes are always blocked, but the coastal ones are still passable... These merchant ships start from the Capital Region's Yakawa, to the shores of Lake Biwa, and then from the port of Wakasa Takeda Clan out to sea. Both your father and I hail from Wakasa, and we have a certain standing within the trading group of Omi. The shores of Lake Biwa have always been prosperous, producing rice, alcohol, tea, cattle, lacquerware, paper... it's a good place to trade all sorts of goods!"
