Yagyū Munenori 柳生宗矩(1571-1646 May 11) was a Japanese swordsman who inherited leadership of the school of swordsmanship called Yagyū Shinkage-ryū from his father Yagyū "Sekishusai" Muneyoshi. This was one of two official sword styles patronized by the Tokugawa Shogunate (the other one being Itto-ryū). Munenori began his career in the Tokugawa administration as a hatamoto, a direct retainer of the Tokugawa house, and later had his income raised to 10,000 koku, making him a minor fudai daimyo (vassal lord serving the Tokugawa), with landholdings around his ancestral village of Yagyu-zato. He also received the title of Tajima no Kami (但馬守).

  • Yagyū Munenori 柳生宗矩(1571-1646 May 11) was a Japanese swordsman who inherited leadership of the school of swordsmanship called Yagyū Shinkage-ryū from his father Yagyū "Sekishusai" Muneyoshi. This was one of two official sword styles patronized by the Tokugawa Shogunate (the other one being Itto-ryū). Munenori began his career in the Tokugawa administration as a hatamoto, a direct retainer of the Tokugawa house, and later had his income raised to 10,000 koku, making him a minor fudai daimyo (vassal lord serving the Tokugawa), with landholdings around his ancestral village of Yagyu-zato. He also received the title of Tajima no Kami (但馬守). Munenori entered the service of Tokugawa Ieyasu at a young age, and later was an instructor of swordsmanship to Ieyasu's son Hidetada. Still later, he became one of the primary advisors of the third shogun Iemitsu. Shortly after his father's death in 1606, leadership of the Yagyū Shinkage-ryū was split between Muneyoshi and his elder brother Toshiyoshi. Toshiyoshi's branch remained based in Nagoya, and was called the Owari-ha Yagyu-ryū (尾張派柳生流), while Munenori established his in Edo, the Tokugawa capital, giving rise to what was known as the Edo-ha Yagyu-ryū (江戸派柳生流). Munenori's sons, Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi and Yagyū Munefuyu, were also famous swordsmen.
