KIAI-JUTSU SAKKATSU JIZAI
The Art of Kiai That Takes and Spares Life
( by Kumashiro Hikotarō)

The Text Is Dated At 1911




Please take note that this text was popularized in the writings of E. J. Harrison, namely The Fighting Spirit Of Japan: The Esoteric Study of the Martial Arts and Way of Life in Japan (1912). The book is rather well known, but until now there was no ready translation ever made, to my knowledge. As told in the text of Mr. E.J. Harrison's book, the main gist of the Kiai-jutsu Sakkatsu Jizai was paraphrased in summation (Chapter XIII, The Fighting Spirit Of Japan) by a Japanese confident named Mr. Umezawa. From this paraphrasing citations were made in his own text. Avid mention of these paraphrased citations had led to some wide spread recognition of the Kiai-jutsu Sakkatsu Jizai, and the citations were common to hear repeated as being rather the esoterica of the secrets of the martial arts.

The subjects of Kiai-jutsu and Aiki-jutsu are inexorably interlinked, in some ways fully integrated to one another as practically one artifice, in other ways held to be quite separate from each other. It is a grave error to think that (ultimately) Kiai-jutsu is in reference to the making of spirited shouts (the idea is quite erroneous and at times rather preposterous.) Both arts, Kiai-jutsu and Aiki-jutsu, involve manipulation of the environment and persons in it. Kiai-jutsu is best understood as manipulation by direct and less subtle means whereas Aiki-jutsu is, to the contrary, said to be manipulation by subtle and various of the less than  obvious means. Hopefully this note will help the reader comprehend the translation better?
