Koohii Story 1 "There are two methods for swimming up on your enemy unnoticed. A ninja using a grassy reed, making sure the flower is first removed, will approach stealthily. A warriors scabbard, once the halberd is removed, can also substitute for a breathing tube in a pinch."
Koohii Story 2 "To prevent the weed from spreading, you must cut the grassy reed with a halberd before it flowers.                    http://www.flickr.com/photos/wasatyu/168795205/."
