A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing.

regarding the following cards... Arrow of Purity - attached to a shugenja at home. cost targetting: attacker at province A Mountain Shadow Dojo
Comprehensive rules say "The source of targeting and effects from a Ranged Attack is the same as the source producing it. Ranged Attacks come from the card effects that create them, not the rulebook."
Am I correct to say that the spell and stronghold are the sources of the ranged attacks and not the personalities involved in their costs and thus "No Hiding Place" is not allowed since the source of the Ranged Attack is not in the current battlefield?

Well, if the Arrow of Purity spells is not among your Attacking Cards, no you couldn't use No Hiding Place on the Ranged Attack. You can never use No Hiding Place with Mountain's Shadow Dojo.
I'll make sure any reference to Mountain's Shadow Dojo and No Hiding Place that might have come up in tangental discussions about the Rule of Location are correct.
