Hasegawa Eishin
Hasegawa Chikaranosuke Eishin (Hidenobu) is reputed to have been the equal of Hayashizaki in skill of using the sword, and he has left a huge mark on Japanese swordsmanship in general, and Iai in particular. He is said to have been the 19th headmaster of a school called Muso Jikiden Ryu, which included the sword arts, other weapons and yawara or jujutsu. Whatever his actual relationship to Muso Jikiden ryu, he was inspired by it to rename his sword drawing art Muso Jikden Eishin Ryu. Whether accurate or not, it is said that his art became popular during his lifetime in Tosa, his place of birth.
Hayashi Rokudaiyu Morimasa
In the late 1600s, Hayashi Rokudaiyu Morimasa, the ninth headmaster of the school, took the art from Edo to Tosa prefecture in Shikoku, where it was well received by the goshi, country warriors. The Tosa goshi, with the support of the Lords of Tosa, maintained the art in a vigorous and practical form until it again was returned to the mainland in the late 19th and early 20th century.
One of the influences on Morimasa is said to have been Omori Rokurozaemon Masamitsu, a student said to have been expelled from the school by Eishin. Omori was a student of Ogasawara Buke Reiho, or etiquette, as well as the Yagyu Shinkage school of sword. The Shinkage Ryu had a set of five Iai techniques called the Saya no Uchi Batto Gohan. Masamitsu developed a set of techniques, later called the Omori Ryu, which were initiated from the formal seated posture called seiza. For this innovation (and probably an apology) Eishin re-admitted him to the school.
On the death of the 11th headmaster, Oguro Motoemon Kiyokatsu, the school’s succession fell into dispute, and two branches emerged, the Shimomura-ha and the Tanimura-ha, named after the 14th and 15th headmasters respectively of each line. Shimomura was a prestigious warrior of the classical type, while Tanimura was a goshi of Tosa, famous for his bajutsu (horsemanship). Shimomura-ha eventually led to the development, through the auspices of Nakayama Hakudo, of Muso Shinden Ryu, and is still closely related to Muso Jikkiden Eishin Ryu, which is the style brought to the present via the Tanimura-ha.
Nakayama Hakudo
Nakayama Hakudo was born in Kanazawa prefecture 1872 (Meiji 6), and started practising the Shindo Munen Ryu under Negishi Shingoro at the age of 18. Prior to Shingoro's death Hakudo wed his daughter, thus joining the Nakayama and Negishi families together. Hakudo later inherited the Yushinkan (有信館) bringing it and Japanese swordsmanship to a new level of popularity unseen in the Meiji Era. Hakudo is probably the 20th century's most famous Iaido practitioner, as well as one of it's greatest Budo-ka. Having founded his own ryuha, which went become one of the worlds most extant Iaido ryu today, he has had a profound impact on the popularity of Iaido. Nakayama Hakudo is portrayed more closely in the Muso Shinden-ryu section of this site.
