Category:Five Master Clans

The Five Master Clans (五師族) are the five most powerful magic houses in Japan who control and run the nation. The coordination of the five clans is impeccable making Japan the most powerful and fortified nation in the world.

The Background
Originally the Imperial Family of the Yamatos (大和), the Takiga (滝具) and the Anagin (穴銀) were the Master Clans, representing air, water, and earth. They were also known as the Sanmiittai (三位一体).

Later, the Kazamis (風見) and the Yotsubas (四葉) replaced the Yamatos while the Mitsukis (みつき /見月/ 未月) took the place of the Takiga. Hence the Master Clans greatened to four, fire now becoming a powerful element in Japan due to the Burner house donning a seat in the Master Clans.

After the Koriwas (氷ワ) hosted the Winter Ball, they also gained a new spot because of their new fame and power.

Hence the Master Clans grew to five and has stayed that way. The Anagin are the only house left from the sanmiittai.

House Duties
Each House has their own duty which they must take care of. Reports are presented at the House Meetings.

House Meetings
Only the main members of each house come to the meetings. There are four meetings in a year, one every season. They occur on the longest day, the spring solstice, the longest night and the autumn solstice.

The Kazami and Yotsuba meet beforehand to fix their reports based on each other's data as they both are in charge of the government (政府). The Mitsuki, Anagin and Koriwa meet at a different date beforehnad too, as they make up both the economic (経済) and social (ソーシャル) parts of the government.

District Control
Along with their own duties, the Kazami and the Yotsuba also split control over the districts. They each report on 4 regions (地方).

The Kazami report on Kansai, Chūgoku, Shikoku and Kyūshū. (24 districts)

The Yotsuba report on Hokkaidō, Tōhoku, Kantō and Chūbu. (23 districts)
