I'm sure the sages of NSC include devotees of this esoteric art. So here's a clue for you. Answer is a little NSC related.

Left down river to sea, skin emblems take sunset point. (9,5)

Does it have a 'straight clue' part? In which case, is it "left"?

I'm wondering if 'L-Ouse = Loose' could have something to do with the answer.

Probably not though.

However, 'bar of soap (6,6)' is my favourite cryptic crossword clue of all-time.

Leicester t wats?

Has to be Portsmouth.

Left = port
Out to sea = mouth

to skin someone is to t wat them
sunset point gives the s.

I think.........

Edit. Just seen it's 9,so I am well wrong!
