Ittoryu Nakanishi Dojo was a dojo for Nakanishi-ha Ittoryu swordsmanship that existed in the late Edo period.

 

History

Ittoryu Ono-ha Ittoryu swordsmanship was opened by Nakanishi Shijo on the east side of Edo Shitaya Renbeikoji. Ono-ha Ittoryu swordsmanship was a style of swordsmanship where kata was practiced with a wooden sword, but the swordsmanship world at the time was in a period of transition from the traditional wooden sword kata practice to bamboo sword uchikomi practice, and Nakanishi Shibu, the second owner of the dojo, introduced bamboo sword uchikomi practice. This lineage was later called Nakanishi-ha Ittoryu.

 

The bamboo sword practice was well received and the number of students increased rapidly, and Nakanishi Dojo flourished, but the students who believed that bamboo sword practice was swordsmanship began to neglect the kata practice to an extreme extent, so Shibu frowned at the unexpected prosperity, and the dojo split into two factions, the kata school and the bamboo sword school (some people practiced both kata and bamboo sword). Terada Souyu, a disciple of the previous master, left the Nakanishi dojo because he believed that bamboo swords were against the truth of swordsmanship.

 

After leaving the Nakanishi dojo, Terada Souyu served the Takasaki domain and studied Heijo Muteki-ryu for 12 years, but in 1796, he re-entered the Nakanishi dojo at the command of the domain's lord Matsudaira Terukazu. Nakanishi Shibu had already passed away, and the third dojo owner, Nakanishi Shikei, was in charge. In 1800, Shikei granted Terada a license. The following year, in 1801, Shikei suddenly passed away, and Terada became the guardian of the fourth dojo owner, Nakanishi Shimasa, as an elder of the Nakanishi dojo. Takayanagi Matashiro and Shirai Toru, who served as assistant instructors, along with Terada Souyu, were known as the "three musketeers of the Nakanishi dojo."

 

During Shimasa's time, the dojo was six bays wide, 12 bays deep, and boasted a gabled entrance, and was said to be the best dojo in Edo. At that time, the dojo was divided into three schools: the Terada Soyu school, the Shirai Toru school, and the Nakanishi Shimasa school. Chiba Shusaku (founder of the Hokushin Itto-ryu school), a student of the dojo, recalled, "We were never in agreement on training. Therefore, we would argue all the time, and it was very difficult."
