I have a faint recollection of reading about Samurai, esp. Bushi, taking a year off to travel the lands to improve a skill, usually sword fighting. Trouble is that I cant remember where I read it. If it was somewhere in this edition or in some earlier edition or even in real Japanese historical literature. Though I think it was in a L5R book. I just can't find it again.
I was reminded of it when I read the sidebar in EE about The travelogue of Miya Hisano, which mention it was written during her year as a ronin. I remember that the name had something to do with waves, similar to the true meaning of ronin as a wave man.
Does anyone know what I'm thinking about and if it exist what the real name is and where in all the L5R source material ever published I can read about it?
