		Saigo returned to his native province, where there was much samurai discontentment with the abolition of their privileges and the shift of power from the feudal domains to the central government.

		Saigo Ha Daito-Ryu is not the same branch of the art that evolved through Tanomo Saigo's bodyguard and successor, Sokaku Takeda, although both arts contain the basic techniques taught by Soke Tanomo Saigo known as the " souden " or " core techniques".
		Tanomo Saigo taught his adopted son Shiro Saigo the traditional art of the Minamoto and Aizu clans and groomed him as his official successor.
		The rest is history : Shiro Saigo relocated to Nagasaki and assumed a low public profile, still teaching Daito-Ryu, along with other arts, while, Sokaku Takeda, assumed the title of grandmaster of Daito-ryu and became very well-known until he died in his early 80's.

		The dramatic arc of Saigo Takamori's life, from his humble origins as a lowly samurai, to national leadership, to his death as a rebel leader, has captivated generations of Japanese readers and now Americans as well--his life is the inspiration for a major Hollywood film, The Last Samurai, starring Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe.
		Saigo was twice exiled for his political activities--sent to Japan's remote southwestern islands where he fully expected to die.
		In The Last Samurai, Saigo is as compelling a character as Robert E. Lee was to Americans--a great and noble warrior who followed the dictates of honor and loyalty, even though it meant civil war in a country to which he'd devoted his life.

	The Baldwin Project: The Story of Japan by R. Van Bergen
		Kyoto was in festive array, and everything was ready, when the news came that Satsuma had raised the standard of rebellion and that Saigo had seized the arsenal at Kagoshima, and was with a large force of samurai on his march through Kiushiu.
		The government feared what Saigo's advisers had counted upon—that the dissatisfied samurai of other clans would create serious disturbances elsewhere, and it is more than probable that at this time promises and concessions were made, whereby [257] they were assured that henceforward the samurai alone should occupy official positions.
		Whether Saigo believed this absurd story or not, the other leaders of the clan thought that the moment for action had arrived, and the old samurai spirit of loyalty to the clan impelled Saigo to place himself at its head.

		For that reason, the life of Saigo Takamori, who headed that rebellion, has acquired a romantic aura that doesn't strictly withstand Ravina's historical scrutiny; nevertheless, what survives the author's inspection contributes to an interesting portrait of a samurai in interesting times.
		Saigo rose from the bottom tiers of the warrior class, eventually leading the armies supporting the emperor against those of the shogun.
		Ravina recounts the tumults that resulted in Saigo's acquiescence in revolt, capturing the protagonist's struggle with loyalty and showing American readers the quality of enigmatic nobility that makes Saigo a well-known historical figure in Japan.

	Shiro Saigo - Judo's Secret Weapon?
		Shiro Saigo was born on Feb 4, 1866, making him just 16 years old in 1882, when he became the eighth student to sign the enrollment register at the newly-established Kodokan dojo.
		And since Saigo was one of the Judo representatives in the 1886 tournament, for him not to have even met Kano until two years later seems strange.
		The problems with this theory are several, and the main problem is that the deduction is being made that Chikanori is a martial arts master not based on historical evidence, but on the fact that he is closely connected to two martial geniuses.

		It is well documented that he referred to Tanomo Saigo as his teacher, but, with only 1 1/2 years of study under him, Sogaku was not teaching the complete system of Tanomo Saigo.
		Shiro Saigo, on the other-hand, was taught by Tanomo Saigo from childhood, so, being there is no written evidence to support Sogaku Takeda as inheritor, it holds that Tanomo Saigo's adopted son would, under traditional Japanese protocol ber the legal inheritor of the art of the Aizu and Minamoto clans.
		In effect, when you talk of Saigo-Ha Daito-Ryu AikiJujutsu, you have to realise that Shiro Saigo was a 5th dan in Kodokan Judo, so, his art must have included the judo techniques as well and you must know that Judo has some Daito-Ryu in it as well.

	BudoSeek! Martial Arts Community Forums - Saigo-ha Daito-ryu/ John J. Williams (Canada)
		Saigo Ha Daito-Ryu (Takeda Ryu) Aiki Bujutsu is that traditional martial art which can trace it's lineage over the 1200-years of recorded Japanese history as the fighting methods of the Minamoto and Aizu clans which then branched-off from grandmaster Tanomo Saigo through his adopted son, Shiro Saigo and his bodyguard Sokaku Takeda.
		Maybe a picture of him training with his teacher, or of one of them training with Saigo, or of his teacher's Menkyo, or his...there must be something.
		Shiro Saigo did master Takeda-Ryu and taught others, including Yamashita Hourii his art which has survived till this day as Saigo-Ha AikiBudo * it would be totally foolish for anyone to assume a man of the stature of Shiro Saigo would suddenly stop training in the arts he loved and never teach anyone again !
