Genealogy : Sendouda and Kasai
This family tree is kept at Wakabayashi, house
of shinto priest at Suwa Myoujin. Originally it shows Sendouda(red
letters) from Nanbu clan. And also it notifies us that Kasai has origin
of Nanbu clan. Kasai in Kai region has been considered as
Genji in midieval Japan. Strange to say, Mitsuhide was said
to be a descendant from Heishi clan. I don't find any old
documents so far that he was certainly from Heishi. But I think there
should be some documents. Because in any time rulars
adopted a man of ability even if he was from oter clan. Genji and
Heishi, sometimes conflicted and helped each other.
