Crane Clan • Samurai • Scout After Inada turns face-up in a province: Dishonor him. Battle: Bow a target enemy card without attachments. Destroy it if Inada is honorable.
Many effects include refilling provinces face-up (ie Border Keep, Famous Bazaar... among others), but when do the cards refilled in this manner turn face-up? Are they already face-up when they are laid on the province (therefore, Inada's trait wouldn't trigger), or is the province refilled, then the card turns face-up (and then Inada is dishonored)?
Thank you in advance.

Daidoji Inada's trigger WILL occur when a province is "refilled face-up" with him.
When a card "refills a province face-up", its entering the province and turning face-up are simultaneous. This is effectively the same as turning face-up while already having been in the province previously.
