NOTO SHIGEKUNI BUN-MEI (t: YAMAMURA NOBUKUNI): Confusion marks 
        this path. One view talks about three generations of 
        SHIGEKUNI, the son of ETCHU NORISHIGE's son studies with
        SANEKAGE. The 3rd studies with YAMAMURA NOBUKUNI and the
        4th is NOTO. However SHIGEKUNI is a mysterious figure,
        appearing at different times and different places along
        the HOKURIKUDO. A SHIGEKUNI MEI should draw the attention
        to the blade in hand. Its style will show its school. 
        There was a little known prerogative for the great names 
        to go incognito, traveling in secret.

        Conservative and RAI, you'll see somewhat complex SUGU 
        KO-MIDARE BA. RAI asks for SUGU. Time runs from NORISHIGE
        through SANEKAGE, RAI FUJISHIMA, UDA and YAMAMURA 
        environments.
