| One of the founders of Enshin
Shin Ryu Iai Suemono Giri Kenpo was a "Hoku Men no Bushi (北面の武士）"or
Body Guard of Emperor Ogimachi(1557-1586), Hayami Naga Mon Mori Enshin,
during the Sengoku Period or Warring States Period of Japan (1495
to 1615). A man by the name of Inu Gami Sakon Sho Kan Nagamasa began
learning Kumiuchi Jutsu (Grappling) under Enshin, shortly after being
handed down a Rei Ken (霊剣）or Spirit Sword from his father, Inu Gami
Heiko Nagasugu. A combination of Enshin's teachings, along with Densho (written records) and Kuden (Spoken Teachings) from Inugami's family became the original art of Enshin Ryu. In the 10th year or BunSei (1827), a man by the name of Kobashi Sho Bei took the original Tai Jutsu (grappling) based techniques of Enshin Ryu, and sword based techniques of Shin Dou Munen Ryu, and developed them into what is now known as Enshin Ryu Iai Suemono Giri Kenpo. In 2002, the dying 4th generation Kobashi Hiyoshi handed the responsibility of the art to Masumoto Takakazu, of Osaka. |
