HISTORY

SADAZUMU, 6th son (874-916) of the Emperor SHINWA founded the MINAMOTO dynasty like " the Capetiens "" in France.

MINAMOTO-NO-YOSHIMITSU (1045-1127) brother of the famous MINAMOTO-NO-YOSHIEE (1041-1108) codified what is agreed to call at this time the AIKI-NO-JUTSU, and transmitted to his son YOSHIKIYO who gave the name of TAKEDA, name of the city he used to live with his family.Prince YAMATO TAKERU-NO-MIKOTO was the first one to establish an educative and military system. In the clan TAKEDA, which sword is still exposed in the national museum of KAMAKURA.
