	Yagyu Munenori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Munenori began his career in the Tokugawa administration as a hatamoto, a direct retainer of the Tokugawa house, and later had his income raised to 10,000 koku, making him a minor fudai daimyo (vassal lord serving the Tokugawa), with landholdings around his ancestral village of Yagyu-zato.
		Munenori entered the service of Tokugawa Ieyasu at a young age, and later was an instructor of swordsmanship to Ieyasu's son Hidetada.
		Munenori's sons, Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi and Yagyū Munefuyu, were also famous swordsmen.

		Otherwise, the modest fief of the Yagyu clan was ignored.
		Armor was on display--helmets and lacquered breastplates, a saddle and stirrups, all heirlooms of the Yagyu family, all emblazoned with the distinctive crest of the family, a stylised depiction of a pair of jingasa, broad-brimmed woven reed hats.
		Yagyu Toshikane was so fearsomely demanding of himself as a craftsman that he was rumored to have made a practice of tossing his newly forged guards into a cask and pounding them with a mallet.

	Yagyu Jubei
		Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi (some sources read his given name as Mitsutoshi) was the first son of Yagyu Tajima No Kami Munenori; the swordmaster to the Tokugawa shoguns.
		The Yagyu, under Muneyoshi, lived in a quiet hamlet in the area of Yagyu, several miles outside of Nara City proper, in the middle of the Yamato river basin.
		Although Yagyu village was tiny hamlet in the countryside, it was surrounded by fiercely independent farmer-warriors who would band together when their common interests were threatened by outside forces.

	THE TIGER IS CONQUERED
		Munenori replied that he could perhaps do so by dint of swordsmanship, but that he was too advanced in age to do such a thing with the animal in the presence of his lord.
		Munenori having his eye upon its breathing, fixed his iron fan at its forehead and gave a shout.
		Munenori shouted once more, when the animal, fierce as it was, bent its forelegs and stooped with its jaw on the floor.

	Budovideos.com - The Life-Giving Sword Book by Munenori Yagyu
		Yagyu Munenori was so widely renowned that he was appointed official sword instructor to two Tokugawa shoguns.
		Yagyu's style is known as the Shinkage-ryu style, for centuries the official style of the Tokugawa dynasty.
		Here, Yagyu's Buddhist spirituality is clearly reflected in his central idea of the "life-giving sword" - the notion of controlling an opponent by the spiritual readiness to fight, rather than during the fight.

		That being said, a couple of names that haven't been mentioned are Yagyu Munenori (of the shinkage school) and Musashi (of the two heavens school, of course).
		During the prime of Musashi's fighting career, Munenori was the headmaster of the Yagyu ryu in Edo.
		Musashi's central motivation in proving himself in a battle against a master of the Yagyu school was that it would have afforded him tremendous respect among his contemporaries, for the simple reason that the Yagyu were well known and well placed because of their political connections within the ruling government.

		I consider "Hagakure" to be the product of too many years of Samurai administrivia during the "Pax Tokugawa" when the spirit of "life-and-death in one stroke" had atrophied beyond recognition, and do not recommend it to my students.
