I am assisting one of my student who decided to undertake a long term project. So far this is what we both found. The criteria is really simple. This "art" must be established in Japan pre-war or post war. if the art was established or founded outside of Japan, it does not count. What we are looking for is the Name and the Founder's Name and the current status ( Active, Renamed or Defunct)
