Description

The Dai Nippon Butokukai's standing kendo division, with its own president. Kimura Tokutarō led it from 1942 until Japan's 1945 surrender, and Nakayama Hakudō briefly headed it in early 1946, months before the Butokukai's dissolution.

    Bennett describes it as a standing division of the Butokukai with its own president, distinct from the Butokukai's own overall leadership; the 1946 end is the Butokukai's own dissolution.
    The evidence favours the claim and nothing credible contradicts it, but it falls short of establishing it.
