==Biography==
In June 1582, following Nobunaga's death during the [[Honnō-ji incident]], Gyuichi met Nobunaga's former retainer [[Yasuke]], who had become a [[ronin]] follower his lord's death. Gyuichi sought Yasuke's help in locating kamons belong to clans in hopes of collecting them to fit in with his notes. When Yasuke asked why Gyuichi did not approach the crest owners directly, Gyuichi replied that he did not wish to involve his subjects, for fear that they would influence his writing or claim his work as their own.
