Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Sandals

Origin
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the successor of Lord Nobunaga. He was considered a great leader, warrior, and unifier. He started from humble origins, but worked his way up from Lord Nobunaga's sandal-bearer to his successor. One of Nobunaga's closest friends, he was often compared to Maeda Toshiie, Nobunaga's other friend. Their personalities were stark contrasts, Toshiie being stern while Hideyoshi was friendly and talkative. In comparison to a myth that dogs and monkeys never get along, Nobunaga referred to them as "Inu", (dog) and "Saru", (monkey), respectively.

Effects
These sandals were the ones swiftly carried by Hideyoshi to Lord Nobunaga before the Battle of Okehazama. Those that wear the sandals will find that their speed will either increase or decrease in relation to the loyalty given to those that they serve. When in close proximity to Maeda Toshiie’s Yari, the Yari holder will adapt a dog-like face, while the sandal wearer will have the face of a monkey. Both effects are cancelled as soon as the artifacts are removed.

Collection
Collected by Hugo and Vanessa from a speedy bank robber who was stealing the money to save the business of a good friend. Using a can of motor oil to trip up the thief, the sandals were collected. Hugo said, "Artifacts are all well and good, but nothing beats cartoon-y violence."
