Hokushin itto ryu KONISHI Shigejiro

Shigejiro KONISHI is the 5th successor of Hokushin Itto-ryu and the director of Genbukan dojo.

Hokushin Itto ryu was created by Shusaku CHIBA (1793 - 1856), pupil of Yoshinobu ASARI (master of Nakanishi ha itto ryu: 1778 - 1853). Shusaku did not like old Kenjutsu and preferred a simpler and more realistic approach. After creating new techniques, he invented equipment (Bogu) still used in kendo nowadays.

More than 3,600 students were training in his dojo, including several historically famous people: Tesshu YAMAOKA (1836 - 1888), Ryoma SAKAMOTO (1836 - 1867), Hachiro KIYOKAWA (1830 - 1863), TODO Heisuké (Shinsengumi member: 1844 - 1867), YAMANAMI Keisukee (member of Shinsengumi: 1833 - 1865), Kan-ichiro YOSHIMURA (member of Shinsengumi: 1840 - 1868) .....
