Tada Genji Traditions - CORRECTION VIDEO: Fukushima Masanori and the Kumazawa/Nojiri Samurai Traditions of the Tada Genji 2024-05-21 | In this video, I seek to correct a mistake that I made while back and that I have since learned wasn't accurate. It doesn't significantly change the data, but rather, it makes it sharper/more accurate and --oddly enough-- aligns it better with the overall historical trends of the time period. COPYRIGHT (C) Steven Nojiri 2024Summary: Kumazawa/Nojiri were Banshu, not Chief Retainers. The shinobi arts of the Kumazawa/Nojiri in Hiroshoma Domain would have not been a "clan affair", but rather, a more personal/private project between Masanori and his guards(Banshu).
