The Mizuno Clan

The Mizuno Clan specializes in water breathing arts. Learn about: The Organization of the Mizuno Clan History of the Clan The Mizuno Clan holds its roots in the small island of Enoshima, their origin stories almost all containing recollections or tales of the deity Benzaiten. Having long praised this goddess through erecting shrines and offering prayers, perhaps it was only natural that the first people to be blessed with water breathing were the Mizunos. For centuries, the Mizuno Clan's descendants and pupils strived to keep the peace in their lands, just as their patron deity had done for them many centuries ago. Benzaiten (Benten), The Goddess of Music Benzaiten, otherwise known as Benten, is the deity of music, wisdom, and wealth. Often, she is depicted in the presence of aquatic life either from the sea or from freshwater.
