This was also the family temple of the Naruse clan.\n-In June 2014 (Heisei 26) the Yagy\u016bkai held a training camp for all members and also practiced zazen (Zen meditation) under the guidance of the chief priest, master Takeyama K\u014dd\u014d. In the bustle of the big city, we passed a pleasant time, concentrating on counting our breaths and straightening our posture.\nThe master said \u201cGather your spirit in the pit of your stomach, think with your abdomen, move by your abdomen; then when your self disappears and your mind becomes nothing, you will be one with all that is around you.\u201d This Zen teaching overlaps with the world as described in our Kuden-sho (Index of Oral Instructions).\nThe Kuden-sho Gaiden (the Appendix of the Kuden-sho) states \u201cpractice Zen and truly know yourself.\u201d We were able to experience the depth of that teaching firsthand.\n\u2013 In Nov 2015 (Heisei 27), we participated in the \u201cYatto-kame Cultural Festival,\u201d a program sponsored by the City of Nagoya to introduce traditional culture to Nagoya\u2019s residents. Dr. Shimizu, Tokyo University Professor Emiritus and head of the Research Institute of Ba(semantic fields), gave a lecture together with Yagy\u016b Souke, the current head of Yagy\u016b-shinkage Ry\u016b. The lecture was entitled \u201cIdeas of Owari-Yagy\u016b-Shinkage Ry\u016b and Ba\u201d which was held in the main hall of Hakurin-ji temple. Then, an embu of dedication was performed in the garden in front of the main hall.\n-In February 2016 (Heisei 28), we commemorated the 50th anniversary of the passing of Yagy\u016b Toshinaga, the 20th head of Yagy\u016b Shinkage Ry\u016b, and an embu of dedication was performed in the garden.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column -->\n\n<!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"33.33%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 33.33%;\"><!-- wp:html -->\n<div class=\"google-map\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3261.697109512857!2d136.90303641467403!3d35.164173980318054!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x600370cd838ce3d3%3A0x4cb118df030add80!2z44CSNDYwLTAwMDgg5oSb55-l55yM5ZCN5Y-k5bGL5biC5Lit5Yy65qCE77yT5LiB55uu77yS77yV4oiS77yR77yYIOiHqOa4iOWul-WmmeW_g-a0vueZveael-Wvug!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1617929043860!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n3-25-18 Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya-shi, Aichi Prefecture 460-0008\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:columns -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4><strong>Sh\u014dj\u014d-ji temple<\/strong><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:columns -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\"><!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"66.66%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 66.66%;\"><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u2013 In Uchiyaba-ch\u014d of Nagoya-shi, Tokugawa Mitsutomo, the sixth head of Owari Shinkage Ry\u016b and the second feudal lord of Owari domain, built Sh\u014dj\u014d-ji to be the family temple of the Owari Tokukgawa house. He had this temple built at the location where Renya Toshikane, the fifth successor, lived.\n\u2013 Renya built his residence in a large space with a garden. He never married and devoted himself to improving his martial art. He employed It\u014d Higo-no-kami Hata Mitsushiro, a master swordsmith from Seki of Mino, to forge swords for him. Renya himself designed and made sword parts, which he called the \u201cYagy\u016b Goshirae\u201d and the \u201cYagy\u016b Tsuba.\u201d He also constructed a kiln, and had artisans fire pottery such as tea bowls and tea caddys. It is clear that he had a taste for elegance and sophistication.\n\u2013 In June 2012 (Heisei 24), the 318th anniversary of Renya\u2019s death, we held a training camp, and afterward payed our respects to a portrait of him, which had been drawn for the 50th anniversary of his passing.

The great filmmaker Akira Kurosawa took this episode and used it in his famous movie \u201cShichi-nin no Samurai (Seven Samurai).\u201d\n\u2013 This temple houses painted Illustration of the 16 Arhats in Colored Silk and Illustration of Taoist and Buddhist Deities. These were donated and remounted by Yagy\u016b Toshitoshi, the founder of the Owari Yagy\u016b family. In addition, the temple\u2019s bell tower was donated by Tokugawa Mitsutomo, the second feudal lord of Owari domain and the sixth head of Yagy\u016b Shinkage Ry\u016b.

He fought under the command of Lord Asuke Jiro Shigenori against the army of the Bakufu, the shogunate government. Lord Shigenori is enshrined here.\n-Lord Shigenori was beheaded after the army of Kasagiyama fell, but his daughter went on to serve the noble house of Nijo. It is said that her son founded the Naruse clan of Inuyama Castle in Owari.

At that moment, we were impressed by the feeling that it was the air of this land which the Yagy\u016b\u2019s forefathers had breathed.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column -->\n\n<!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"33.33%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 33.33%;\"><!-- wp:html -->\n<div class=\"google-map\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3280.9378512473027!2d135.8443643146578!3d34.68151798043943!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x600139eaacfc7d43%3A0xb7a1411081d635b5!2z44CSNjMwLTgyMTIg5aWI6Imv55yM5aWI6Imv5biC5pil5pel6YeO55S677yR77yW77yQ!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1617929473762!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n160 Kasugano-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture 630-8212\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:columns -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 id=\"kyoto\">\u25a0Kyoto<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4><strong>Rinsh\u014d-in temple<\/strong><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:columns -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\"><!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"66.66%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 66.66%;\"><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n-In 1648 (Keian 1), Yagy\u016b Toshitoshi, the third head of our school, retired and relocated to Ry\u016b-an in Rinsh\u014d-in.

Another god, Kitabatake Tomonori, is enshrined in Ry\u016b-kon-sha, a smaller shrine on the grounds. Once, on his way to Kyoto, our founder visited lord Tomonori, the ruler of Ise province. There he was introduced to Yagy\u016b Sekish\u016bsai, a swordsman of the Shinto Ry\u016b school locally renowned for his prowess.\n\u2013 Our founder and Sekish\u016bsai pitted their skills against one another in a bout with bamboo swords (shinai). The bout took place at H\u014dz\u014d-in, a sub-temple of Nara\u2019s K\u014dfuku-ji temple, in the presence of H\u014dz\u014din In\u2019ei, one of the temple\u2019s monks and Sekish\u016bsai\u2019s friend. Sekish\u016bsai found that he was no match for our founder, and immediately he became a student of Shinkage Ry\u016b. In\u2019ei joined him, and they became fellow disciples. After a time, Sekish\u016bsai succeeded our founder as the head of Shinkage Ry\u016b, and In\u2019ei founded the H\u014dz\u014din Ry\u016b school of s\u014djutsu, or spearsmanship.\nShinkage Ry\u016b became the private school of the Owari clan, and Houzou-in Ry\u016b Soujutsu was taught in many feudal domains.\n\u2013 Still today, the two schools, spear and sword, are endeavoring to develop the spirit of their arts. In 2015 (Heisei 27) 450 years after Sekish\u016bsai\u2019s receipt of the Inka-j\u014d certificate from our founder, both schools performed an embu of dedication for the deity Kitabatake Tomonori.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column -->\n\n<!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"33.33%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 33.33%;\"><!-- wp:html -->\n<div class=\"google-map\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3287.372711896034!2d136.29697921465225!3d34.51878398048157!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x60041be58a55b77f%3A0xe939c627e85cd37e!2z44CSNTE1LTMzMTIg5LiJ6YeN55yM5rSl5biC576O5p2J55S65LiK5aSa5rCX77yR77yR77yU77yY!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1617929325132!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n1148 Kamitage, Misugi-cho, Tsu-shi, Mie Prefecture 515-3312\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:columns -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 id=\"gunma\">\u25a0Gunma<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4><strong>Sairin-ji temple<\/strong><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:columns -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\"><!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"66.66%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 66.66%;\"><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u2013 This Soto Zen temple located in Kamiizumi-machi is the Kamiizumi family temple.
