Most of her life Ibuki traveled trading her medicines. As she aged, Ibuki mellowed so gracefully. Her prayer life brought this to her.

“The gods are so good to me and my life is about sharing these wondrous gifts that they bring to me,” Said Ibuki.

Ibuki ate only fish and plants. She had once traveled to Mento to trade for a greater variety of fish before coming into Hayshua. Ibuki had created a fish oil and sold it in the market in Mento for some years. This oil had many uses. Ibuki used it primarily for medicinal purposes. She mixed it with plants to create different scents for her prayer times. She also used it for treatment of colds and viruses. In this way it was primarily a preventive medicine as Ibuki had rarely gotten sick in spite of the challenging and difficult life she had experienced before settling in Hayshua.

During her travels on her wagon, Ibuki met a man who she fell in love with. This was a good man who further advanced Ibuki in her life as a healer and lover of the gods. This man and Ibuki bore the child who was named Gendua (pronounced jin-doo-ah). Gendua was to become the mother of Kaori.

Gendua never took on the healing arts as had her mother and her daughter. She cooked and kept up with the supportive needs of her mother while they traveled.
