Yagy\u016b Shinkage Ry\u016b Heih\u014d, 22nd Headmaster, Yagy\u016b K\u014dich Taira Toshinobu<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spirit of Yagy\u016b Shinkage Ry\u016b has survived from the time the Yagy\u016b family received the tradition from the founder, Kamiizumi Ise-no-kami Fujiwara Hidetsuna (later Nobutsuna) at the end of the Muromachi period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 450 years ago, the founder gave Yagy\u016b Sekish\u016bsai Munetoshi an inkaj\u014d (license), issued to only one person per domain. In the license, the founder wrote that only a true and sincere person should be taught the higher levels of the tradition. The second headmaster, Sekish\u016bsai composed a tanka poem\u2014one of 100 poems about heih\u014d (swordsmanship)\u2014based on the founder\u2019s instruction, stating that if a student does not possess the five virtues (thinking about others deeply, keeping the way as a person, etiquette, wisdom to judge correct from incorrect and sincerity), the student should not be taught the secrets of heih\u014d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sekish\u016bsai\u2019s grandson, the third headmaster Yagy\u016b Hy\u014dgonosuke Toshitoshi, served the first lord of the Owari domain, Tokugawa Yoshinao, as a teacher of heih\u014d. This was the beginning of a new peaceful era called Genna Enbu (Genna Armistice), after the Seige of Osaka ended in 1615. In the same year, Hy\u014dgonosuke wrote in the preface to his treatise on heih\u014d, the Shij\u016b Fuja-sho, that the purpose of heih\u014d is to control the mind and body through practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our school, we employ the sword by using the whole body in a relaxed manner. This is what we call sei shizen, or natural movement without any egoistical intention. There is an inseparable link between our minds and bodies and the ability to attain natural movement depends on the state of our minds. To learn heih\u014d and to cultivate our own humanity deeply are two sides of the same coin. We should correct and educate our minds striving to constantly improve ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 150 years have passed since the Meiji Restoration. People\u2019s daily lives and the environment around them have undergone monumental changes. However, the spirit of this Ry\u016b contains the wisdom of our predecessors, which can serve as guidelines for how to live life and how to endure and overcome adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would be pleased if learning about the long history of Shinkage Ry\u016b Heih\u014d, which has been passed down from the time of the founder, would result in a deeper understanding and interest in Japanese traditional culture, and that this will inspire others to value and protect our Ry\u016b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
