The Sword of the Shinsengumi

In this book, we delve into the history, philosophy, and teaching system of the Tennen Rishin-ryu, the swordsmanship that once shook Japan during the tumultuous Bakumatsu period. Drawing from original hand-written manuscripts and other surviving secret documents, we reveal the true nature of this famous yet enigmatic classical swordsmanship. The long-lost techniques and forms of Tennen Rishin-ryu have been meticulously restored and are presented here for the first time.
