Ogasawara Heibei Tsuneharu
Who is Ogasawara Heibei Tsuneharu?
Ogasawara Heibei Tsuneharu was a Japanese archer, responsible for resurrecting the Ogasawara school of archery during the Tokugawa period.
The Ogasawara school was founded in the Kamakura period by Tsuneharu's ancestor Ogasawara Nagakiyo, and specialised in ceremonial archery. However, its teachings were largely lost by the sixteenth century, due to numerous schisms in the Ogasawara family. In 1724, the shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune ordered Tsuneharu to revive the lost school. In doing so, Ogasawara Tsuneharu became the founder of the modern Ogasawara school, which focuses on ceremonial and ritual archery, rather than military practices.
