History
Tradition states that theIchiden Ryu lineage begins with Marume Mondonoshô Norikichi [1]. His student, Kuniie Yauemon [2] taught Asayama Ichidensai Shigetatsu, founder of Asayama Ichiden Ryu. Ichidensai then spread his tradition across the country. However, the records for this lineage are unclear.
Another tradition claims that he learned from a variety of teachers, including Kamiizumi Hidetsuna, Okuyama Saemondayu Tadanobu[3], Nakamura Senjurô[4], as well as with the Yoshioka family in the capital. There is also some thought there may be a connection with Tamiya Ryu.
Ichidensai died on the 5th day of the first month of the 4th year of Jôkyô (1687) at the age of 78. He had numerous students, and many other schools eventually spawned off of the main branches.
