The Itachi Family are feared to bring ill-omen due to their purpose: retrieving cursed nemurenai and cataloging nemurenai in general on behalf of the Jade Magistrate's Office. They work alongside the Kitsune in the cataloging of items found within the Shinomen Mori, and after the Destroyer War they work alongside the Kasuga for the purpose of determining Destroyer relics which have been left behind in the wreckage.

The Itachi travel in threes and often make use of dogs and kamas, as their founder did. They are bushi for the most part, but serve any shugenja born within the family proper. 
 
They are on bad terms with the Unicorn Clan due to them causing a kerfuffle over a caravan of crystal that was being brought in without official jurisdiction and both clans come to odds in matters of determining the origins of items. They also aren't on the best terms with anyone who trades with non-humans because Nezumi and Naga artifacts are disconcerting.

The Itachi are on decent terms with the Witch Hunters, though they dislike their jurisdiction often being given to the Kuni. Good terms with the Toritaka after an incident with a Hidarugami that saw both families working in tandem for the good of the people.
 
The Itachi hand over tainted items and often report them to the Crab in general so as to avoid having to collect them altogether. The Crab have in turn found the Itachi useful in finding Shadowland counterfeits of their own numenerai that had been constructed for insidious purposes of infiltration and corruption in plain sight.
 
They are disliked by most of Rokugan's artisans for their intense scrutiny of potential tsukumogami. Likely caused by the implication that items are not being properly cared for and likely to be possessed by the kami in a few decades to make an example of the samurai who didn't care for their "glorious artworks" they had commissioned.
 
The Tsi don't like the Itachi on principle. The Itachi treat all items as things that could potentially become a threat, while the Tsi treat whatever they create as artwork first. They rarely come into contact with one another,but a pillowbook of a romance about a Tsi and an Itachi caused a generation long grudge between the two houses.

And despite their origins, their function and habit of traveling in threes makes the Scorpion find the lot of them to be repugnant. The Yogo can appreciate them in practice, but on the whole they're snoops and record-keepers who want the facts trying to get their nose into the Clan famous for their secrets.
 
And nobody wants them to denounce an item that was allegedly blessed by ones ancestors as not really being as magical and blessed as it was claimed. Nobody likes being the nude Emperor after all.
