Muso Jikiden Eishin-Ryu - review

Not considering improvement of Iai-Jutsu and Iaido since times of Hayashizaki Jinsuke, this Ryu-Ha was formed by one of Tosa clan, 18. Soke Yamauchi (Yamanouchi). 16. Soke Goto Magobei Masasuke taught Muso Jikiden Eishin excrusively Tosa clan. 17. Soke Oe Masamichi realized, that this efficient art of the sword could be lost and started teaching Muso Jikiden Eishin-Ryu beyond Tosa province. H fought in Hamaguri Gomonno Ikusa, war, that took place in the end of Tokugawa era in years 1865 to 1867 in Kyoto. By fighting in this war, Soke Masamichi was able to develop great Iai-techniques.

Soke Masamichi made from many of his students masters, who were given Menkyo Kaiden, a right to teach. After Soke Masamichi's death, it was uncertain, who should be his legal succesor and 18. Soke, because Soke Masamichi himself did not establish his succesor. Schools Ryu-Ha were founded and nowadays 3 Soke for 3 branches of Muso Jikiden Eishin exists.

Jako jediný přímý potomek klanu Tosa (Yamauchi byli Daimyo v provincii Tosa), postoupil v hierarchii na místo 18. Soke Yamauchi Toyotake v Ryu-Ha, která byla v tu dobu vedena jako Iai-Jutsu a která zůstala v této podobě zachována dodnes. Soke Yamauchi publikoval Iai Shousetso, dílo, v němž zdůraznil principy Tosa Iai-Jutsu.

19. Soke Kono Kanemitsu founded Meibukan, Dojo in Toshima-ku in Tokyu, where only traditional Tosa Iai-Jutsu with live blade (Shinken) was taught. 20. Soke Onoe Masamitsu established Sekiguchi Takaaki as 21. Soke.
