Description
Private kenjutsu dojo in Mito, Ibaraki, opened 1874-01-01 by Kozawa Torakichi
in his own residence after the abolition of the Mito domain. Taught Hokushin
Ittō-ryū kenjutsu and Shin Tamiya-ryū battojutsu; Naitō Takaharu and Monna
Tadashi trained there before going on to the Keishichō and the Butokukai. One of
the three great private dojos of Japan (kenshi247); private ownership has
continued in the Kozawa family, and the dojo still practises kendo, iaido,
naginata, Hokushin Ittō-ryū, and Shin Tamiya-ryū (JA wiki, Mito Tobukan).

JA wiki (Monna Tadashi, citing Domoto Akihiko's Meiji Gekken-ka) attributes
the Shin Tamiya-ryū battojutsu at Tobukan specifically to Kozawa Ichirō,
Torakichi's eldest son; kenshi247 attributes both Tobukan arts to Torakichi
- the more specific claim is modeled and the conflict recorded.

JA wiki (Monna Tadashi) and kenshi247 agree that Monna entered the Tobukan in
Meiji 15 (1882) and studied Hokushin Ittō-ryū under Kozawa Torakichi; the JA
wiki places his move to the Keishichō in 1888.
“明治15年（1882年）、元水戸藩矢倉奉行で弘道館剣術指南役であった小澤寅吉の道場東武館に入門。寅吉に北辰一刀流剣術を、寅吉の長男一郎に新田宮流抜刀術を学び、いずれも免許皆伝を受ける。”

JA wiki (Monna Tadashi) records that from 1885 Shimoe taught at the Tobukan and
Monna received his instruction, and that the two continued together at the
Keishichō from 1888 (Monna 'the one who most fully inherited Shimoe's
technique'); kenshi247 confirms the Tobukan instruction.
“明治18年（1885年）より、元玄武館塾頭で茨城県警察本署撃剣師範の下江秀太郎が東武館で剣術を指南し、門奈は下江の教えを受けた。”
