The Rokuhira workshop
Isolation after the war. A house, a forge, a cellar of swords Kunishige spent years trying to smash, a bowl of goldfish. Chihiro grew up here. The Hishaku raid happens here. Enten is forged here, about fifteen years after the Seitei War. The workshop is the book’s moral unit: a household. Every later room is measured against it. Longer file: the workshop page.
Tokyo underworld
Where Chihiro and Shiba work for three years after the raid. Cafe Haru Haru is the sit-down between jobs; Hinao keeps the lights on and brokers sorcerers. Char’s sighting, Madoka’s confirmation, Sojo’s compound, the city is the first map. The Anti-Cloud Gouger Special Forces die in it. The Kamunabi want Chihiro out of it. He stays.
The Rakuzaichi
The Sazanami auction house. Two hundred years. The Tou as household military. The Storehouse as the actual building: a subspace that holds loot and people. Pages: the Storehouse, Naginojoen, the Tou. The 208th lists Shinuchi. Chihiro lets them take Enten so the blade can scout the Kura on its own charge. On auction day he walks back in with Cloud Gouger’s stump. When the Rakuzaichi ends, the firm ends. See the arc.
Sanso fortresses
After the raid, surviving wartime bearers are locked in Kamunabi Sanso. The state’s idea of safety is a box. Uruha is moved; Samura is at Senkutsuji. When a Sanso is attacked, the Sword Bearer Assassination arc starts on a train. The boxes were never going to hold.
Senkutsuji
The temple where Hakuri returns Tobimune to Samura. Samura clears it, then cuts Uruha down. It looks like a Hishaku pact. It is Suzaku: kill the contract, keep the man. A Buddhist room used as a surgery. Longer file: Senkutsuji.
Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel
The Masumi take Iori here. Chihiro learns Iai by copying Kuguri and the house style. Iori’s seal breaks. Hiruhiko wrecks the hotel with Play. Samura arrives. Feathers, banquet, goldfish. The hotel is where the daughter and the father occupy the same city again. Page: Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel.
Kamunabi headquarters
Tokyo. Magatsumi in the basement. Kasen’s leak on the table. Kudo dies for Hakuri. Yura spends Shinuchi without drawing it. Shiba dumps the fight onto the street. Akemura leaves the cell in Yura’s offered body. The building that hid the Sword Master is the building that loses him. Longer file: headquarters.
Irishima and Shokoku
Shokoku rises from the sea. Irishima already showed a Datenseki vein. Japan harvests it. The Mikaboshi come back. The Irishima talks are Part 2’s opening property: Chiaki, Shiba as Soga guardian, Kunishige still a picky dealer who has not looked at the ore. English Twitter called the chapter 113 splash “Japan’s Atlantis.” Place files: Irishima, Shokoku, undersea habitat. The timeline holds the dates. The argument is the vein essay.
Sanso, hotel, island
Kokugoku Hot Spring Sanso: Uruha, Steam Squad, Fushimi’s Smoke Axe, Hiruhiko. Senkutsuji: Samura, Masumi, Owl’s later launch site. Subaru relocated when the pattern becomes obvious. Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel: Sengoku, Reigen, Kuguri’s classroom, Play’s demolition. Cafe Haru Haru: Hinao, Shiba’s civilian door; page: the cafe. Irishima: talks 117–121, vein, Part 2; page: the island. Kamunabi HQ: Yukisada in the barrier, Kudo’s death, the cell. The Storehouse walks because Hakuri walks. See Sanso on the Kamunabi page, the island on the Part 2 page.
