			During the Sengoku period, the Japanese Brotherhood known as the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins\|Kakushiba Ikki]] (lit: the League of the Hidden Blade) held a formal tradition of inducting members into the order through a tea ceremony. Based in Igan tradition, Kakushiba Ikki members signed their names in ink on two pieces of paper. One copy was hidden while the other was burned and the ashes placed into a tea bowl with water. Each member would then drink from the bowl, thus initiating them into the Ikki. <ref>[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]</ref>
