Japanese: 岸沢古式部 - きしざわこしきぶ

...The shamisen player for the first Tokiwazu Mojitayu was the first Sasaki Ichizo, but after Ichizo's death in 1768 (Meiwa 5), a dispute arose over the succession, and the Sasaki school broke away from Mojitayu. Instead, the first Kishizawa Shikisa became Mojitayu's shamisen player. (1) The first (1730-83, Kyoho 15-Tenmei 3) A disciple of Miyakoji Kazumatayu's shamisen player Uwasako Shikibu, he initially followed the Sasaki Koryu Tokiwazu Shizutayu, but later became Mojitayu's shamisen player, and in 1769 he became a standing shamisen player and changed his name to Kishizawa Koshikibu. His compositions include "Utou" and "Shinobuuri"...

From Tokiwazu

...For a while after that, the influence of Tomimoto did not reach that of Mojitayu, but from the Bunka and Bunsei eras (1804-30), Mojitayu III and Mojitayu IV became active. However, in 1860 (Man'en 1), Mojitayu IV (Bungo Daijo) and Kishizawa Koshikibu IV (Shikisa 5) came into conflict, and the Kishizawa faction split off and became independent. The common theory is that the cause was a dispute over the success of Sanzesou Nishikibunsho, which was a huge hit in 1857 (Ansei 4), but since they were together for two years after the performance of Sanzesou, it is assumed that this was not the only reason, and that Kishizawa Koshikibu had a desire to become independent, which happened to surface as a result of the conflict with Mojitayu.

…その後しばらくは富本の勢力に及ばなかったが，文化･文政年間(1804‐30)からは3世文字太夫，4世文字太夫が活躍する。　しかし，1860年(万延1)4世文字太夫(豊後大掾)と4世岸沢古式部(5世式佐)が対立，岸沢派が袂を分けて独立した。通説では1857年(安政4)に大当りをした《三世相錦繡文章（さんぜそうにしきぶんしよう）》の功名争いをその原因とするが，《三世相》上演後2年は同席しているのでそれだけではなく，岸沢古式部に独立の意志があり，それがたまたま文字太夫との紛争をきっかけとして表面化したと推測される。…
