流祖上泉伊勢守藤原秀綱(のち信綱)に師事した柳生石舟斎宗厳(むねとし)は「無刀の位」を開悟して第二世を継ぎ、その長男厳勝の子、兵庫助利厳は、祖父石舟斎の薫陶を受け第三世を継承し、元和元年に尾張初代藩主徳川義直公の兵法師範となりました。
道統は尾張柳生家14人の当主と尾張藩主7公(尾張藩主世子１人を含む)によって伝承されて、現在の第二十二世宗家柳生耕一厳信に至っています。
明治以降、幾多の困難がありましたが、第二十世柳生厳長により、柳生会が昭和30年に設立されました。
宗家と宗家補佐の高弟により当地にて伝えられてきた伝統に則り、現在は柳生会の会員へ宗家直接の実技指導と、口伝書の講道を行い当流の伝統を護り伝えることに努めています。
柳生新陰流兵法の正伝および伝統文化の保存、継承を第一義とする柳生会では、正しい情報の公開と管理を目的とし、現宗家の監修のもと、ここに当サイトを「柳生新陰流兵法公式サイト」として公開いたします。
The main purpose of the Yagyūkai is to correctly preserve and pass down the cultural tradition of Yagyū Shinkage Ryū. Therefore, we have created the Yagyū Shinkage Ryū Heihō Official Site, under the supervision of the current headmaster, to make public and disseminate accurate information about our school.
In the past, we had used the name Shinkage Ryū Heihō for our school, but due to the growing popularity of classical martial arts, we started to use the name Yagyū Shinkage Ryū Heihō in April 1988 to make clear that our tradition has been passed down within the Yagyū family.
Yagyū Sekishūsai Munetoshi, the second headmaster, succeeded the founder, Kamiizumi Ise-no-kami Fujiwara Nobutsuna, after Nobutsuna approved of his mutō -no-kurai (concept of no sword). Hyōgonosuke Toshitoshi, the son of Sekishūsai’s eldest son, became the third headmaster after being taught by his grandfather Sekishūsai. In 1615, Hyōgonosuke began to serve the first lord of the Owari domain, Tokugawa Yoshinao, as a teacher of swordsmanship.
Yagyū Shinkage Ryū has been passed down by fourteen heads of the Yagyū family and seven lords of the Owari domain (one of the seven passed away before assuming his duties as lord). Currently serving as the 22nd headmaster is Yagyū Kōichi Taira Toshinobu.
Since the Meiji Restoration the Ryū has had to overcome many difficulties, so in 1955 the 20th headmaster, Yagyū Toshinaga, established the Yagyūkai to preserve and protect the tradition.
The current headmaster has been continuing the efforts to preserve Yagyū Shinkage Ryū based on the traditions that have been transmitted by the past headmasters and their assistants. This includes teaching members through a direct face-to-face relationship and delivering lectures (Kodo) on the texts and oral transmissions of the school.
