Later his income was increased to 10,000 koku, making him a fudai daimyo, or a vassal lord in the service of the Tokugawa. Subsequently, Yagy\u016b Munenori also received the title of Tajima no Kami.<\/p>\n<p>Munenori entered the service of Tokugawa Ieyasu at a young age, and later became a sword instructor for Ieyasu Hidetada&#8217;s son.

After that, Toshiyoshi entered the service of a branch of the Tokugawa clan that controlled the province of Owari. Toshiyoshi&#8217;s school was based in Nagoya and was called Owari Yagy\u016b-ry\u016b, while that of Munenori, in Edo became known as Edo Yagy\u016b-ry\u016b. Takenaga Hayato, the founder of Yagy\u016b Shingan-ry\u016b, was a disciple of Yagy\u016b Munenori and received from him secret teachings (gokui) of Yagy\u016b Shinkage-ry\u016b.<\/p>\n<p>Around 1632, Munenori completed Heih\u00f4 Kadensh\u00f4, a treatise on Shinkage-ry\u016b sword practice and how it could be applied to life and politics. The text is still in print today in Japan and has been translated several times in English. Translated into Italian: &#8220;The sword that gives life&#8221; it is a compelling biography of Munenori and a series of essays regarding sword techniques.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-73928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.japanitalybridge.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/a16b8a54a1199950c4932d887a7d2985.jpg\" alt=\"Yagy\u016b Munenori\" width=\"424\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.japanitalybridge.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/a16b8a54a1199950c4932d887a7d2985.jpg 424w, https:\/\/www.japanitalybridge.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/a16b8a54a1199950c4932d887a7d2985-212x300.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>photo credits: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lunieditrice.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.lunieditrice.com<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>His sons Yagy\u016b J\u016bbei Mitsuyoshi and Yagy\u016b Munefuyu were also famous swordsmen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yagy\u016b Munenori (1571 &#8211; 11 May 1646) was a Japanese swordsman, founder of Yagy\u016b Shinkage-ry\u016b, one of two official sword styles sponsored by the Tokugawa shogunate (the other was Itt\u014d-ry\u016b).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81204,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Yagy\u016b Munenori (1571 -
