an important movement concerning the continued existence of the dormitory occurred in 2006 . 2006年（平成18年）、本寮の存続に関わる大きな動きが起こる。
as of 2001 , only five paint artists existed in kanto , so the continued existence of successors is threatened . 2001年の時点でペンキ絵の絵師は関東で5名を残すのみとなり後継者の存続が危ぶまれている。
thus , to saigo , katsu was also his benefactor through the instruction of saigo on the planning and establishment of a new government , this done without considering the premise for the continued existence of the bakufu . 西郷にとって勝は、幕府の存在を前提としない新政権の構想を教示された恩人でもあった。
he was also highly regarded as a great noh performer who sought a continued existence of the shimotsuma clan and hongan-ji temple with noh in the turbulent war period by such as giving instruction on " dobusho " (comments on noh plays ), a noh-hidensho (book of secrets of noh ), to tadayoshi matsudaira , the fourth son of ieyasu . 家康の四男松平忠吉に能の秘伝書『童舞抄』を伝授するなど、戦国乱世にあって能をもって下間家と本願寺の存続をはかったという評価もなされている。
in light of the above , some argue that it was cunning calculation to put pressure on ieyasu by acting as if he had ambition for supremacy to ensure that ieyasu appreciated the kuroda family ' s capability and the fidelity of josui ' s son nagamasa; because , ieyasu would treat the kuroda family accordingly , and this would lead to the continued existence and ultimate prosperity of the kuroda family . そのため、天下を狙う野望を持っていたというのは見せかけで如水は家康に脅威を感じさせ、一方で息子の長政が家康に忠誠を尽くすことにより黒田家の存続と繁栄を狙った深謀遠慮であるという説もある。
