Abstract

This paper introduces one historical material of a license to traditional Japanese gunnery on 1613. This license, Teppo Hiden Bassho (鉄砲秘伝抜書), was issued by both SAWAMURA Kakuemon (澤村　角右衛門) and his son, Naiki (内記) to TSUBOTA Sataemon (坪田　左太右衛門). In this license, Sawamura family showed 6 correspondence tables as their school secret, listing the relationship between the weight of gun-powder and the musket shot. The author reveals that SAWAMURA family was higher-class feudal retainer of Hikone Clan, reffering their genealogy edited by the order of Lord Ii (井伊).
