Source Description
As Hangan's loyal retainers plot their revenge inside the teahouse, Heiemon catches one of Moronao's spies listening under the veranda. Heiemon is easily identified as one of the forty-seven "ronin" or masterless samurai by the white circular crest on his shoulder. It looks like two commas.
