Hi folks...ltns...
I am currently reading a book called "Lives of Master Swordsman" and in the chapter on Kamiizumi Nobutsuna there is a paragraph that reads:
"...Instead Shingen honored Hidetsuna by granting him one of the two characters of his first name. From then on Hidetsuna was known as Nobutsuna..."
I understand he is honored by this but could anyone explain to me the overall signifigance?
Thanks,
