Tennen Rishin Ryu: The Swordsmanship of the Shinsengumi Book (Expanded Edition)

This is an augmented edition of the first edition published in October 2019, with the addition of "Tenjin Rishin-ryu Gokui" from the Harada Dojo as reference material.
It explains the forms of the "Hakkunkan Kondo Dojo" created by Kondo Isami Goro, and the forms restored from the form memorandums left by Sato Hikogoro, who exchanged vows of brotherhood with Kondo Isami.

It is a great pleasure that Tenjin Rishin-ryu, which was a factor in the strength of the Shinsengumi, is being passed down to future generations through the deciphering of "Kenpo Meidanroku," and I would like to express my gratitude once again to Professor Harakawa Osamu for his efforts.
