Itomagoi Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Hello everyone, I have two questions. According to this page: http://www.jp-sword....imitsu/kunimitsu.htm Komiya Shiro Kunimitsu managed Chikushi Gunto Tanren Branch in 1943. Do any of you have more information / photos about the Chikushi Gunto Tanren? The second question also relates to the link. Does anyone have any information about Sonoda Tsumoru? Unfortunately I can't find anything. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itomagoi Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Yes, I have. And I have most of the information in my database, but didn't find anything from Chikushi Gunto Tanren or Sonoda Tsumoru. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itomagoi Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 ok ok, I've done my homework :-D There was no Sonoda Tsumoru. That's a translation error. Sonoda Seki (園田積) is correct and that is the father of Komiya Shiro Kunimitsu shodai. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itomagoi Posted March 15 Author Report Share Posted March 15 Hello Thomas, thank you for your information. Perhaps this Hirohisa -> Signature : Hisahiro is the older brother of Mutō (Hachirō) Yukihiro and Mutō (Hideyoshi) Hidehiro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itomagoi Posted March 16 Author Report Share Posted March 16 To conclude this topic, this photo. It was taken around 1952 in front of the Komiya family home in Omuta, Kyushu. I can't say 100% whether the translation is correct. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
