What is Shinkage-ryu


Shinkage-ryu is founded By “Kamiizumi-Isenokami-Nobutuna”.
And it has been told by the “Owari-Yagyu Famiky” from generation to generation till modernization.

Although commonly called the “Yagyu-Shinkage-ryu” , it is formally called a “Shinkage-ryu.”

* This is about the Shinkage-ryu which got across to the Owari-Yagyu Family. It does not know about other systems.

Moreover, although this neighborhood is puzzling, a Shinkage-ryu(Shinkage-style) may be called “Yagyu-ryu(Yagyu-Style)” .

Although it will be called a Yagyu-ryu = Shinkage-ryu since the legitimacy of a Shinkage-ryu got across to Yagyu Family, But The way of calling called Yagyu-Shinkage-ryu is still a mistake.

* Include what was correctly taken in behind by the military tactics of Yagyu Family, and they are the Yagyu-style and a Shinkage-ryu in it.
It seems that thus, it had distinguished. Therefore, it is although “Iai ( Iaido,Iaijyutu )” may be included in Yagyu-style,
There is a talk which does not know well that there is nothing that it is each other in Shinkage-ryu..
