lyoung Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Clarification on what is meant by "second generation" in regards to Minamoto Yoshichika and Nidai Minamoto Yoshichika as found on http://home.earthlink.net/~steinrl/nihonto.htm. Larry Quote
runagmc Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 shodai means first generation, nidai means 2nd gen, sandai means 3rd gen and so on... if thats what your asking... The article is saying that there was a second generation (nidai) that used the same name. He could have been a student or son of the shodai. Apparently the exact connection is unknown. Quote
lyoung Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Posted October 10, 2011 Yes, thank you Adam, that is what I was asking. I guess I did not get why the two were together and not placed as different smiths other than being seperated by a generation. I was attempting to map the lineage, but there is not way of knowing if these two were father-son. LY Quote
lyoung Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 And Thank You David, I wish they were one in the same persons. Larry Quote
David Flynn Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Same thing was for Nidai and Second Generation. Quote
