171 無布施経、Fusenaikyou(No offering)

山田家ですが清和源氏の流れで初代は清兵衛吉秋といい遠州(現静岡県)の侍でした。
二代目吉長の娘は家康公の側室となり、茶阿の局と呼ばれました。]
あの「捨て童子」こと松平忠輝のお母さんです。

忠輝の愛刀に無布施経(フセナイキョウ)の異名を持つ備前真長(業物)の刀があります。
忠輝が家臣をケサ切りにした切れ味を毛吹草(正保２、俳句の本)の句にひっかけて
名付けられたものです。

The First Yamada was Seibee Yoshiaki.
He was a samurai at Ensyuu(now Shizuoka prefecture).

The Second yamada was Yoshinaga.
His doughter became a Ieyasu's mistress. She made a son with Ieyasu.
The son was Tadateru. His nickname was " an abondoned boy".

His sword was Bizenn Sanenaga(made at 14c). Its nickname was "Fusenaikyou".
Tadateru cut down his vassal with this sword.
Its nickname came from a haiku of "Kebukigusa(a book at 1645)".
