[edit]Which one was the Kanji name for Eda no Genzō--江田源蔵or江田源三?
[edit]Or are these interchangeable names or names of two different people? I found both names in Utagawa Kuniyoshi's artworks:--RTVFSD (talk) 00:38, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- 江田源蔵 reads Eda Genzō.--Jondel (talk) 06:36, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Both of the names do, from what I got from a quick Google search through Japanese Internets. And both names pop up at the same general time period (12. century, in connection with the clash between clans Taira and Minamoto), so that's probably why the OP is asking. I can't be of more help, though. Sorry. 164.71.1.221 (talk) 08:33, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- 江田源三 also reads Eda Genzō. 源三 is the kanji used in The Tale of the Heike and Gikeiki. I think they are interchangeable names. Oda Mari (talk) 15:52, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
