Did you know?
- The word うちは is a homophone for the Japanese word for 'paper fan'. This is a visual pun, as the clan's symbol is a fan and their techniques often involve wind.
- In Japanese, the sound うちは can also be interpreted as 'inside my home' or 'our side', depending on the kanji used. This creates a double meaning regarding the clan's insular and protective nature.
- In Japanese, the word is written with the hiragana characters う and ち and は, but the final character は is often pronounced as 'wa' in standard Japanese.
