ISBN 0-8048-3190-4) Yūzan was the son of Daidōji Shigehisa and the great-grandson of Masashige, an important advisor to the Late Hōjō clan. Shigehisa had been a samurai in the service of Matsudaira Tadateru, daimyo of the Echigo Takada fief, but became a ronin in 1619 when Tadateru was dismissed from service. Yūzan studied the arts of war in Edo under Obata Kagenori, Hōjō Ujinaga, Yamaga Sokō and others. He then lectured on the subject as a guest of the Asano at the Hiroshima fief, the Matsudaira clan at the Aizu fief, the Matsudaira clan at the Fukui fief, and elsewhere in Japan. Yūzan's son Shigetaka became a retainer of the Fukui fief with a stipend of 300 koku.
