Ahh, I missed that one.
I suppose it is a bit unfair but I will have to ask Stichcawl to excuse himself from this session. Can you name the five clans that has held the post of Seii-Taishogun throughout Japanese history? |

I know this as Shogun, but I don't know any names.

Seii-Taishogun is the formal title for a Shogun.
征夷大将軍 is shortened to its last two characters 将軍, this is a common feature in the Japanese language. That post has been inhabited by a few different clans, some more well known than others. The trick is to name at least five of those. I guess I should have explained that in the first posting, I just assumed this was a well known fact. |

I think it was well-known enough, no extra was needed, but I can't name the clans. Perhaps some guesses:
Sony Panasonic Yamaha I'm joking... |

One is called something like Yamamoto, but I can't quite remember, and I can't think of any more . We might well need Stitchawl for this one...

No Yamamoto I'm afraid. The latter part of the name is correct though, but you need to change the first part.
When I wake up tomorrow and if there is are no correct answers we'll see how many Stitchawl can provide. I'm betting three, but all five if he asks his wife for advice |

I am pretty sure that one of them was something like Tokugawa (sp), but that's all I can contribute.

Tokugawa is correct. They held the title from 1603 to 1867. Tokugawa was the last Shogun dynasty in Japan.

The only one I remember is Kemmu probably because it's the easiest and noted for being short lived.

See the kind of trivia you pick up from reading novels. I had a period where I'd sit in front of the TV and declare participants on Jeopardy IQ challenged. I've outgrown that kind of juvenilia.
