Does anyone know about these jujutsu schools?

On the following site of the Koryu Jujutsu Federation Europe the above styles are mentioned:

http://www.jujutsu-federation.com/

Here are two pictures from that site.
This one has "asayama ichiden ryu jujutsu" written on a sign on the wall next to many others:

I have a meeting and training session tommorow with the founder of the Kurodaiya Ryu Taijutsu;he's affiliated with the Headmaster of the KJF and Kenso-ryu....i'm curious as well,since i have an interest in old-style jujutsu as well.

Yesterday i had a meeting with a jujutsu teacher who founded his own particular style called: Kurodaiya Ryu Taijutsu...altough his Ryu is modern,he is affiliated with the Ko-Ryu Jujutsu Federation founded by Mukato Kurabe.The latter one teaches Kenso Ryu,together with the Kurodaiya founder who is his student and junior-teacher in that style.

After the meeting the Kurodaiya founder gave me a book written by Kurabe:Ko-Ryu Jujutsu-japanese real traditional style jujutsu.In the book he explains a bit on the history of the Kanmu Gesshin Ryu,and 24 katas are demonstrated therein.

According to Kurabe Shihan,

*Kenso-Ryu was founded by Kamatoro Takeishi in the Meiji epoch,late 1800's.The founder summarized several traditional jujutsu styles;however,the last grandmaster Chushudo Tanaka deceased in 1995,leaving no succesor.

*Kanmu Gesshin-Ryu is still active in Japan with its 24th grandmaster Yoshitane Chiba;the style transeferred from father to son in the Chiba family and was originally derived from emperor Kanmu in the 10th century.In the tokugawa epoch a samurai named Tatsutane Chiba summarized all the techniques which were transferred in his family for long and started his own style of jujutsu;kanmu gesshin ryu jujutsu.The techniques have not been modernized trough the ages.

After doing a search on the internet on these 2 styles,i couldn't find a thing except the dojo of Kurabe Shihan: http://www.shofukan.nl/
