Yamamura tradition comes about in Echigo when Kyo Nobukuni style is received in Yamamura for the Oei.
See https://www.sho-shin.com/hoku18.htm for the Kyo-Soshu style blends in Echigo.

Hiromitsu worked in Musashi
amid the very best of late Edo stylists.
  He made this imposing weapon for the Restoration struggles.

This was a hotbed of Shogun supporters, who held for the old ways and the Rebels, who were working to destroy the government if favor of Imperial Restoration.
