            OSUMI UJISADA
                  was the first master of the UJISADA





                    SHINTO. His teacher, UJIFUSA, came from MINO
                  bringing SOSHU tradition to SATSUMA.  

              UJIFUSA is considered the
                      key to the survival of SOSHU style
                  (which fell away elsewhere). 
              
SATSUMA was one of the "Seven






                        Provinces of SHINTO" and, while the
                    eras' social and political events were theatered in
                    the riches of OSAKA, KYOTO and EDO, his became the
                    established SHINTO school (along with HIZEN-TO)
                    along an otherwise "sleepy" Old SAIKAIDO Road.
