Budo Senmon Gakko
Description
The Dai Nippon Butokukai's martial-arts teacher-training school in Kyoto, opened on 1905-10-01 as the Bujutsu Kyoin Yoseijo and renamed Budokugakko and then Bujutsu Senmon Gakko in 1911-1912 and Budo Senmon Gakko in 1919 (abbreviated Busen). Training took place in the Butokuden (武徳殿), the Butokukai's own hall; hall and school are kept as this one place, the school being the institution of record. Budo teaching was abolished under the GHQ budo ban in February 1946, when the school was renamed Kyoto Bunka Senmon Gakko; it closed on 1947-01-31. Its kendo faculty was headed by Naito Takaharu as chief professor (主任教授).

There he studied directly under Naito Takaharu and crossed shinai with the likes of Saimura, Nakano, Oshima, and Shimatani (this was slightly before Mochida, Ogawa, Miyazaki, and Oasa, etc arrived). ”

At this time the school was known as the Bujutsu Kyoin Yoseijo, but eventually (after a few re-organisations and renames) it would be known to everyone as Busen (Budo Senmon Gakko). It was to this school that Ogawa was dispatched by the Nagoya police department in 1907. Ogawa would spend 3 years studying kendo directly under Naito.”

While at the Busen Kenshiro also enrolled in Mr. Gen Tanabe's philosophy class, at the Kyoto Teikoku University. That early encounter with philosophy would be influential in the formation of his system. While the training was arduous at the Busen, Kenshiro managed to receive his Yondan (4th Dan) rank in Judo, being again the young Judoka to attain it. His sister, Toyoka, decided to take Martial Arts too, enrolling in Mrs. Mitamura's Naginata class. She would dedicate the rest of her life to the practice of the art.”
