Hajimemashite,
If i could have a minute to interact with the well weathered budoka, that makes e-budo such an excellent forum. Hopefully, the senior members here with authentic credentials in Japanese Gendai & Koryu sword arts will continue to share, their amazing amounts of knowledge and insight.
Decloaker engaged....
Perhaps being silent, with ears wide open has it's value. There were posts in the past few weeks, were senior members were treated ungraciously by a "Soke" who dropped in with long and at times rambiling posts. ..... then in a flash after announcing to e-budo, his decision to suspend permanently his postings...... retired back to the pastures of the greater Northwest. Yes, there still are Americans interested in Budo as it relates to Japanese culture, customs and practices. Their is a small hand full of pioneering people, (starting with the likes of the late Don Draeger) who opened the doors of koryu bujutsu. Strong willed individuals who are unconscious to their passions, (In Japan & overseas) have and will insure the survival of classical Japanese arts. Hopefully, undulated and in a dignified manner. Of course, we could just wrap PVC piping in foam rubber... and say it's part of a new progressive Americanized budo sword art... O'yeah... What does one's nationally have to do with "Japanese arts"? The above mentioned pioneers, were able to place nationally in it's congruent place. Japanese arts --- of all kinds--- are and will remain Japanese. Now with my two yen spent, I'll digress to the original topic.
I'm interested to know if anybody has information about Ioriken Battojutsu, a ryu dating from the Sengoku Jidai era? The ryu headed --in Tokyo-- by Teshinsai Uchida Sensei, apparently was taught the art from his father. After consulting the Bugei Ryu-Ha Daijiten, and other Japanese language sources I can't find it mentioned once. A second search by a japanese native, returned results constant with the first. Of course, the Bugei Ryuha Daijiten is not the beginning & end on ryuha. Also, there maybe a relationship between some gendai practitioners of Toyama Ryu... and Ioriken battojutsu. Perhaps I'm not using the correct formal name? Could anyone help, I'm out of ammo now.... However, could this bujutsu been so small, or obscure that it was over looked by Watatani & Yamada?humm...
