Found a YT-clip with Nakayama Hakudo performing a kendo-kata for those interested.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEk6LhI5BVU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEk6LhI5BVU).
The videos description and other text is in kanji and I'm only certain that one of the men is Nakayama Sensei. The other one I can only guess:

高野佐三郎先生)

Enjoy!

The kanji above is Takano Sasaburo Sensei.

Ah! Now thats a name I've seen frequently. Thanks :)

Can you identify the video the clip was taken from?

Slight off topic but I saw your youtube comments about the 'Nihon Kobudo' DVD of Jodo. I was thinking to send it to my nephew. Can you tell me the table of contents from the Jodo DVD. Thank you.

As of others have already pointed out, it's Takano Sasaburo as uchidachi. This footage isn't exactly rare. It's one of two standard pieces of film of the two. There's this one outside (I don't remember the specific details of when and where), and there's also footage of them performing inside the Butokuden at one of the Showa Tenran Shiai.

This particular embu is available on both the Showa Tenran Shiai video set and Kensei to Gokui: Nihon Kendo Kata which also has an embu by Saimura Goro and Mochida Moriji. It's probably available elsewhere as well.

Oh, and just for completeness's sake, the title screen says:


Bonus Footage

Great Japan Imperial [Dai Nihon Teikoku] Kendo Kata
(Presently Nihon Kendo Kata)

Uchidachi: Takano Sasaburo
Shidachi: Nakayama Hakudo

I don't know what video this comes from.
