Initially, you will be travelling west along a fairly main road that connects Hakata to Karatsu. But after about a day, you will be going south where there is nothing other than villages. As ronin (especially a foreign ronin should Rukuro be dressed in the chinese style Nac), you will rank under just about everybody but the commoners. Tonsured monastics have no caste as such. Courtasy will dictate that most treat them with respect, or at least as an equal if the other is of significant standing themselves.Notes on priests: the Sohei are priests who have selected the way of the warrior over that of magic. (ie monk rather than cleric). Regular priests are called So. Komuso are followers of the f uke sect (not sure how this will fit in yet) who wear the basket headgear so beloved by spies everywhere. Bozu are Buddist monks who have taken vows of celebacy and eat no meat , Ama are the female equivelant. Kannushi are the Shinto priests - mostly its a part time position, they still live and work amoung the community. I'm going to give some thought as to how this should corrolate with the regular classes and update the information post (eventually). For the moment, just  go with what seem to fit best.</blockquote>
