Subject: Greetings and introductions
Hajimemashite. I am Tokiomi Katagawa, designated representative of the Hogosha Association in most of the important matters that affect the Association as a whole. Kusari, this land close to your own home, yet so far away, has it's own history of accomplishments and traditions, and the Hogosha play an important part in the tapestry of said land.
The Association prides itself of a keen sense of opportunity and discovery of new relations, and bringing the best from near and far to promote greater prosperity to all involved.
The Hogosha as a whole, and the Association particularly, has been cautious in its involvement with Gallia and its denizens. Few within the Unione Corse may remember our past encounters with a generally amiable partnership. Even fewer in the Council may remember past tensions caused by our presence in the Taus, and differing views on the presence of Bretonia in everyone's lives. For the remainder of the entities addressed in this communique, I'm afraid any encounters that may have happen were so rare or undocumented that they will be beyond any measure of remembrance.
One the main issues that prevented a more active contact was the political situation in Gallia. The threat of the Royal Navy, and the Gallic corporate interests have pressured Kusari to adopt a neutral stance towards the offenses that the Gallic regime provoked upon the people in Kusari and abroad. Even with proud supporters of the old established Kusari Imperial house giving resistance and fight to the Gallic Royals everywhere from Leeds to Kyushu, the rest of Kusari sought to benefit from the exploits of Gallia economy while outlawing most of the enemies of the state, even if only on paper.
The Association has come to terms with the current situation, and decided to take a more decided approach to Gallia. While other Kusari corporations may dabble and struggle with Gallic taxation and the companies weird standards, the Hogosha will devote their interests in deepening the links of the Gallic underworld with the outside. Starting our links with the Corse, we wish to get to know any other active organizations whispering in the Gallic underground network, and to know with their members and the needs they may have.
If possible, the Association would like to be introduced with representatives of the organizations that operate outside of the Gallic law, and arrange joint or individual meetings to establish further relations. Should said representatives require, we are glad to provide more information about ourselves and Kusari, and to travel to locations of convenience in Gallia for further talks.
For a prosperous tomorrow, for all of us.
Tokiomi Katagawa, the Hogosha Association.
