Description
Edo-period Japanese school of iai (sword-drawing), named after its founder
Ōmori Rokazaemon Masahira of the mid-18th century; its seiza-opening curriculum
was absorbed as the shoden set of the Muso Shinden and Muso Jikiden Eishin
lineages and is also transmitted as an independent lineage with its own masters
(shihan). Funasaka Yoshio, who taught it to Yukio Mishima in the 1960s, noted
that "we studied what is now called Omori Ryu, but we called it Hasegawa
Eishin Ryu". In this database it appears chiefly through Funasaka, under
whom Mishima formally entered the school in 1966.
