No, not this one.

This one .

This looks to be some (free) DLC for the mantis clan on day one of the 'full' release, and it has a fair chunk of stuff in it to look at and digest:

  • Mantis Clan
  • Families of the Fleet
  • Schools
    • Storm Fleet Sailor
    • Storm Fleet Seer
    • Worldly Rōnin is mentioned as a school in the core book
  • Osano-Wo's boast technique
  • Distinctions
    • Blood of Osano-Wo
    • Sea Legs
    • Knotwork (Passion)
    • Sailor's Tongue (disadvantage) - I love the flavour text: “Err, maybe forget you heard that last bit about the oar and the octopus, eh Doji-san?”
  • Weapons
    • Butterfly swords
    • Eku
    • Sai
    • Tinbe
    • Rochin (a shield! interesting!)
    • Tonfa
  • Armour
    • Sailor's Garb
    • Sharkskin Leather Armour
  • Gear
    • Astrolabe
    • Fishing Rod
    • Taraibune boat
  • NPCs
    • Eel
    • Octopus (somehow this is a rank 1 political/intrigue opponent as well as just a combat threat.... Octopus-sama denies your petition!)
    • Shark (doo-doo-de-doo.....seriously, this thing is terrifying. Firstly if fighting it you must almost certainly be in the water and hence in trouble anyway, but it's got two rank 4 rings, martial 3, and a damage six, deadliness six, razor-sharp bite which becomes deadliness ten if you have bleeding!)
    • Ningyo
    • Sea Troll

Does anyone know where Kinushima Port is supposed to be?

As far as I can tell, it was invented for that document. It does not appear to be mentioned in the 4th e atlas.
