Description
Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū (天真正伝香取神道流) is one of the oldest extant
Japanese martial arts, and an exemplar of bujutsu. The Tenshin Shōden Katori
Shintō-ryū was founded by Iizasa Ienao, born in 1387 in Iizasa village (modern
Takomachi, Chiba Prefecture), who was living near Katori Shrine (Sawara City,
Chiba Prefecture) at the time. The ryū gives 1447 as the year it was founded,
but some scholars state that it was about 1480. The main emphasis of the school
is kenjutsu (swordsmanship), but its curriculum also includes battōjutsu (sword
drawing), ryōtōjutsu (dual-wielding), bōjutsu (staff), naginatajutsu (glaive),
sōjutsu (spear), shurikenjutsu (dart throwing), and jūjutsu.
