Description
Utsunomiya-domain samurai and Hokushin Ittō-ryū kenjutsu master, called 'Oni Shū' and 'Japan's No. 1 Master of the Thrust'. Head (jukutō) of the Edo Genbukan dojo at 19 (1866). Kenjutsu instructor for the Utsunomiya domain (1867), then a Keishichō gekiken sewagake (1879-1884, again 1887-1898). At the Mito Tobukan (1885-1887) he taught Monna Tadashi, who 'most fully inherited Shimoe's technique', and Naitō Takaharu, and brought both to the Keishichō in 1887-1888. Later gekiken shihan for the Aichi (1898) and Miyagi (1899) prefectural police and the Army 2nd Division.
