Description
Negishi Shingorō (1844-1913) was a samurai from Nagaoka Domain and the 6th and
last Edo-period headmaster of Shindō Munen-ryū kenjutsu. He opened the Yūshinkan
dojo in Tokyo in 1885 and taught swordsmanship to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police
Force. A participant in the Boshin War and survivor of the Battle of Hokuetsu,
he was declared Hanshi of Shindō Munen-ryū by the Dai Nippon Butokukai in 1906
and served on the committee that created the Dai Nippon Teikoku Kendo Kata in
1912. His most famous student was Nakayama Hakudō, whom he also adopted as his
son.

“Due to such hostility toward the kata—especially from one member of the
committee itself, a somewhat sullen Negishi Shingorō (1844-1913)—they were not
widely circulated.”

The kenshi247 article states Hakudo entered the Yushinkan of Negishi Shingoro of
the Shindo Munen Ryu in 1891, and Negishi was his most influential teacher; the
specific nature of the iaijutsu/kenjutsu instruction is implied.
“Otsuyoshi arrived in Tokyo in 1891. There, armed with a letter of introduction
from Kenzo, Otsuyoshi was successfully admitted into Shingoro's Yushinkan at
the age of eighteen.”
