Justin Grant Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 高力氏 Is it Kōriki-Shi or Mr. Tsutomu Takashi Thanks! Quote
k morita Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Hi, It is pronounced "Koriki-shi" usually. The pronunciation of the character(shi/uji,氏) is different according to the situation. The Koriki's original roots is "Taira"平 or "Kumagai"熊谷. So, to read "Koriki-shi" as Mr,Koriki(in modern use)/The Koriki, or "Koriki-uji" as The Koriki ,The Koriki families ,The Koriki clan. The usage is difficult though I have a family name dictionary of the thickness of about four inches. Quote
Justin Grant Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Posted June 16, 2011 Morita-San Thank you. I am very grateful for your help! When you say The Koriki's original roots is "Taira"平 or "Kumagai"熊谷, are they from both or just one of the two other families? Any direction you can point me to is very appreciated! I am trying to research the hatamoto aspect of this family, and little is published, in english, that I can find. Thank you Justin Quote
k morita Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Hi, The meaning of original root means before 1000 years or more from now. So, The Taira----The Kumagai----The Koriki---- (????) Quote
Justin Grant Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Posted June 16, 2011 Morita-San Thank you once again. You are a great person! This helps me very much! Thank you Justin Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 A lot of Samurai tried to link their lineage to either Taira or Minamoto, and some even tried to prove they were direct descendants of Amaterasu Omikami. It does not prove that they (f)actually were linked to either family or deity. KM Quote
