-- PRESENTATION: HŌKI RYŪ IAIJUTSU --
This school, which took the name Hōki Ryū Iaijutsu, was founded by Katayama Hōki-no-Kami Hisayasu, a disciple of Takenouchi Hisamori of the Takenouchi Ryū. It is said that he was initiated to the secrets of the eighteen ways of wielding the Tachi (long sword) by Hayashizaki Shinsuke’s uncle. Shinsuke was himself famous for having started a great Iaijutsu renewal.
At the end of the Sengoku period, on the New Year of the 5th year of the Bunroku era (1596), he prayed at the Atago sanctuary in Kyōto and had a revelation within a dream in which he also dreamt of the Chinese character “Kan”. He then named his school Ikkan Ryū, but it was generally known as Katayama Hōki Ryū. However, Battōdō Hōki Ryū is also sometimes called Shin Ryū (two possible characters in Japanese).
