Founder of Kyōshin Meichi-ryū and the Shigakukan (士学館), opened at Nihonbashi Minami-Kayaba-chō in 1773. He signed as Hachirōzaemon (八郎左衛門) and never bore “Shunzō” — the “1st Momoi Shunzō” numbering is a retroactive scholarly label; the myōseki proper begins with the 2nd holder, Naokazu. He is the only holder with a recorded gō (士流軒伴山, reading provisional).
