Shinden Yōshin Ryū Denshō Bungaku

Study Manual for the Traditional Willow Heart School

PDF FILE VERSION LINKED HERE



This text is a Master instructor's manual for the Shinden yōshin ryū school of Jujutsu. This document is my own instruction and authorship, a record of the things taught in the school and its dojos. Hence the term denshō-bungaku is being used to mean “study manual” in that it was meant to be an instructor's manual for teaching (any form of) Shinden yōshin ryū, or otherwise as a study manual for practitioners of Shinden yōshin ryū. That's why it's posted openly to the Internet – free access for all to make use of. As for the contents and body of the text: Certain parts of each entry (may) have relevant contributions from Japanese language documents translated by myself between the years 1982 and 2007, the text contains only potential quotes of my own translation of these materials, and my own remarks. Obviously, those materials being written in Japanese, the translation was done as my own work and so it's not possible to call it 'quoting'. The documents in question were written between 1952 and 1999 and consisted of the following: (1) School manuscripts and documents (shinden yōshin ryū and other relevant ryūha, budō kan and budō kai) a proliferation of these, (2) School texts and document facsimiles (photocopies, typed print and etc) a proliferation of these, (3) <Japanese language> Books, magazines and specialized newspapers on Japanese Budō (on relevant fields such as jujutsu, kenjutsu, iai-jutsu, kakushi buki and etc) a proliferation of these. (4) <Japanese Language> Texts, lists and magazines on Japanese history or specific periods of Japanese history (as relevant to the subjects of Budō.) This gives you an idea of where the information in the text came from (notes taken and memory on the remarks and contents of all these materials.) In fact, even the structure, titles and sub-titles of the subject matter of this text came from those various written materials (all or most titles and sub-titles are in Japanese language, clearly indicative of this fact.) The text shouldn't be disappointing by any means.

The text is highly structured, each entry and sub-entry appears in a purposeful and specific order. This order of information needed to optimize the transmission of budō instruction, whether using it as an instructor or personally as a student of jujutsu. It is suggested that you study the table of contents, entry per entry and also taking note of the order in which the sub-entries appear (do this even after you are quite familiar with the text and it will unlock the information further.)
