Ogasawara Heibei Tsuneharu
Ogasawara Heibei Tsuneharu (1666–1747) was a Japanese archer, responsible for resurrecting the Ogasawara school of archery during the Tokugawa period. The Ogasawara school (''ryu'') was founded in the Kamakura period by Tsuneharu's ancestor Ogasawara Nagakiyo, and specialised in ceremonial archery. However, its teachings were largely lost by the sixteenth century, due to numerous schisms in the Ogasawara family. In 1724, the shōgun Tokugawa Yoshimune ordered Tsuneharu to revive the lost school. In doing so, Ogasawara Tsuneharu became the founder of the modern Ogasawara school, which focuses on ceremonial and ritual archery, rather than military practices.

Kamakura Period
The is a period of Japanese history that marks the governance by the Kamakura shogunate, officially established in 1192 in Kamakura by the first ''shōgun'' Minamoto no Yoritomo after the conclusion of the Genpei War, which saw the struggle between the Taira and Minamoto clans. The period is known for the emergence of the samurai, the warrior caste, and for the establishment of feudalism in Japan. During the early Kamakura period, the shogunate continued warfare against the Northern Fujiwara which was only defeated in 1189. Then, the authority to the Kamakura rulers waned in the 1190s and power was transferred to the powerful Hōjō clan in the early 13th century with the head of the clan as regent (Shikken) under the shogun which became a powerless figurehead. The later Kamakura period saw the invasions of the Mongols in 1274 and again in 1281. To reduce the amount of chaos, the Hōjō rulers decided to decentralize power by allowing two imperial lines – Northern and Southern ...

Ogasawara Nagakiyo
was a Japanese samurai warlord of the late Heian and early Kamakura period. He is best known as the founder of Ogasawara clan. The history of ''kyūdō'' (Japanese archery) begins with this martial arts master. Life Nagakiyo was born on March 5, 1162 in Ogasawara, Koma, Kai Province (within present-day Hokuto, Yamanashi Prefecture) at the mansion of Ogasawa Manor as the second son of Kagami Tōmitsu. His father Tōmitsu served Emperor Takakura as an Inner Palace guard (''takiguchi no musha''). Nagakiyo was the grandson of Takeda Kiyomitsu (1110-1168), and the great-grandson of Minamoto no Yoshikiyo (1075-1149). His eldest brother, Mitsutomo, served the Taira clan and Kiso Yoshinaka, but Nagakiyo served Minamoto no Yoritomo and founded the Ogasawara clan. In ''Azuma Kagami'', Nagakiyo begins to call himself Ogasawara after 1184. However, until 1195, Kagami and Ogasawara are in mixed use. The name Ogasawara in Koma is known in two places in Yamanashi Prefecture. Nagakiyo's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tokugawa Yoshimune
was the eighth ''shōgun'' of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan, ruling from 1716 until his abdication in 1745. He was the son of Tokugawa Mitsusada, the grandson of Tokugawa Yorinobu, and the great-grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Lineage Yoshimune was not the son of any former ''shōgun''. Rather, he was a member of a cadet branch of the Tokugawa clan. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, well aware of the extinction of the Minamoto line in 1219, had realized that his direct descendants might die out, leaving the Tokugawa family at risk of extinction. Thus, while his son Tokugawa Hidetada was the second ''shōgun'', he selected three other sons to establish the ''gosanke,'' hereditary houses which would provide a ''shōgun'' if there were no male heir. The three ''gosanke'' were the Owari, Kii, and Mito branches. Yoshimune was from the branch of Kii. The founder of the Kii house was one of Tokugawa Ieyasu's sons, Tokugawa Yorinobu. Ieyasu appointed him ''daimyō ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Ogasawara acted as ''shugo'' (governors) of Shinano Province during the Sengoku period (c. 1185–1600), and as ''daimyō'' (feudal lords) of territories on Kyūshū during the Edo period (1600–1867). During the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, the clan controlled Shinano province, while related clans controlled the provinces of Awa, Bizen, Bitchū, Iwami, Mikawa, Tōtōmi and Mutsu. According to some theories, the Miyoshi clan and the Mizukami clan were descendants of the Ogasawara clan. The clan developed a number of schools of martial arts during this period, known as Ogasawara-ryū, and contributed to the codification of bushido etiquette. Towards the end of the Sengoku period (late 16th century), the clan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
