Ōmori-ryū

大森流

Also known as

Ohmori-ryu

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.
