Minbōku District

The Minbōku District (民望区, Hopes of the People) is the ninth district located in East Rukongai. They are most known for their benign nature and their art, reminiscent of the Heian Period of Japan

Overview
A mostly quiet area, the people of Minbōku live in lavish homes and even have a distinct style of dress. They don white and gold robes and value cleanliness and order. Similarly, they are very tradition-bound and are meticulous when it comes to their lifestyle. The economy of Minbōku is centered around the practicing of the arts of calligraphy, origami, ink paintings, and sculpture. Minbōku is also often considered the cultural terminus of Rukongai. After the disaster in the Seireitei, many of the connoisseurs were lost and thus resulted in the decline of the cultural value of art in Soul Society.
