\nIt is said that Yamamura Masanobu was originally a student of Nobukuni the 2nd. But according to Dr.Kunzan’s theory, Yamamura Masanobu may be a student of the Nobukuni the first.
\nPlease see the text on page 403 of the Kanto Hibisho Book.<\/p>\n

From Aoi Art: He was a student Nobukuni the first and moved to Echigo Yakamura province. Yamamura Masanobu is a head of the Yamamura school. NBTHK paper said simpmy “Yamamura”.
