Brian Posted May 31, 2019 Author Report Posted May 31, 2019 24th Generation Masamune.I wonder if they have a sword in the family from the Shodai? Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted June 2, 2019 Report Posted June 2, 2019 The 24th generation descendant, Tsunahiro Yamamura, has a company that creates katana, cooking knives, scissors, knives, and so on in Kamakura. But his son, Takamasa Yamamura, decided to become an opera singer, & is now Head Minister at Myohoji Temple (http://honolulumyohoji.org/profile/). I've met him several times when we've trained at the temple.Do families still adopt to continue the line? Otherwise, so ends 25 generations of sword makers......kinda' sad. Quote

People are their own masters of course... but there is something to be said for lineage and tradition. Quote

Well, if he has an apprentice, adopted or not, this will be the 25th generation I guess. It is very unlikely, I think, that the 24 previous generation are all direct descendants of Masamune. So I think it’s the teaching that is the descendant, not the person. Quote
