The was one of the branches of the Niten Ichi-ryū, the Kenjutsu school created by Miyamoto Musashi, under the supervision of Gosho Motoharu, Shihan of the 9th generation. Since April 2007 was reintegrated with the seito〔 (main line) under Yoshimoti Kiyoshi, 12th successor of Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū and 10th successor of Gosho-ha Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū. == About the ryū == After the creation by Miyamoto Musashi, it is believed that the branch "Santô-ha" of the Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū kept unchanged the techniques created by the founder. The ryū arrived the 20th century with the 8th ''Sōke'' (headmaster), Aoki Kikuo. In 1961, Aoki Kikuo named one of his closest disciples, Gosho Motoharu, as ''Shihan''〔 (master responsible for teaching the techniques of the ryū) and ''Soke Daiken'' (adjunct successor) of the 9th generation, and other disciple, Kiyonaga Tadanao, as 9th Soke,〔 with the goal to make sure that the techniques of the style were passed to the future generations. Before, in 1955, Gosho Motoharu had received ''Menkyo kaiden'', the license of total transmission in Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū and Sekiguchi-ryū, the two schools that Aoki Kikuo was headmaster. Aoki Kikuo died in 1967. In the following years, the two masters continued representing the Niten Ichi-ryū in Japan. In 1976, Kiyonaga Tadanao died suddenly, without leaving a designed successor.〔 As Soke Daiken, Gosho Motoharu continued to represent the ''ryū'' on this period. After eight months without a ''soke'', the Kiyonaga family asked Gosho Motoharu to prepare Imai Massayuke, a Kendo teacher of the same town, who made contact with the style months earlier interested in learning more about the Bōjutsu of the Niten Ichi-ryū, to stay as 10th ''soke'', while the son of the 9th Soke, Kiyonaga Fumiya, would be the 11th ''soke''. Gosho Motoharu taught to Imai Massayuke and Kiyonaga Fumiya all the curriculum of the ''ryū'' in the following months and years, and remained as the main responsible for the techniques teachings. Together, they represented the ryū on many occasions and countries, such as France (1983), China (1986) and Australia (1988). In the end of the 1980s, the 10th Soke and the Shihan splintered their ways. At this time, Gosho Motoharu was graded as Iaido Hanshi Hachidan by the ZNIR, and was also responsible for Sekiguchi-ryū. Imai Massayuke did not receive Menkyo Kaiden in Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū from Gosho Motoharu, thus breaking the Menkyo Kaiden transmission. At this time, there were changes in the ''kata'' of the ryū〔 under Imai Massayuke. The techniques of the style became different of the style as taught by Aoki Kikuo. One of the best known records of the original techniques is the Nippon Budokan Archive, recorded in 1981 with Gosho Motoharu acting as Uchidachi and the 10th Soke, Imai Massayuke, as Shidachi. During the next 15 years, the original form of the katas were preserved by Gosho Motoharu and other students of the 8th Soke. In November 2003, Imai Massayuke decided that the title ''soke'' would no more be used in the ryū, and that there would be three 11th generations successors,〔 who would be named as ''dai juichi''. They were Kiyonaga Fumiya (son of the 9th Soke, Kiyonaga Tadanao) of Oita, Chin Kin (an old student of the 8th Soke, Aoki Kikuo) and Iwami Toshio from Kokura.〔 Imai-soke put the Jisso Emman no Bokuto, the wooden sword made by Miyamoto Musashi and traditional symbol of his successor, in guard of the Usa Jingu Shrine. Any of the ''daijuichi'' or their future successors have access to it by a limited period of time. In 2004 Kiyonaga Fumiya (dai juichi) died. Most of the ryū members in Japan were his students and decided not to continue under the others successors,〔 but to join Gosho Motoharu in order to give continuity to the original forms of the style. So was founded the branch Gosho-ha Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū in 2004, with members in Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Hawaii and Chile. The 10th soke, Imai Massayuke, died in 2006. In May 2007 the Oita Prefecture Kendo Department requested the Kiyonaga family and the Gosho Ha Niten Ichi-ryū masters to reestablish the seito (main line) of Kiyonaga Fumiya in Oita, where the ryū was based since the 9th generation.〔 The Kiyonaga family designated Yoshimoti Kiyoshi, son of Gosho Motoharu and successor in Gosho-ha Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū, as Junidai (12th successor) of Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū Seito under Kiyonaga Fumiya's line.〔 The two lines were again unified under Yoshimoti Kiyoshi, 12th successor of Miyamoto Musashi, from an unbroken line in both Menkyo Kaiden transmission and recognized succession. Others masters of the ryū under Yoshimoti Kiyoshi and Gosho Motoharu are Ishii Toyozumi〔 and Shigematsu Isao in Japan (among others). The two remaining successors of Imai Massayuke continue to represent the ryū with their own groups. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gosho-ha Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
