PLEASE READ

I have no objection to anyone publishing part contents of these pages elsewhere if it benefits people's knowledge of Kobudo with exception to Hyoho Niten Ichiryu/Niten Ichiryu work that is owned and done solely by me or Imai Masayuki Soke. In using work or graphics from this site I would appreciate anyone using it giving me a mention rather than plagiarizing my hard work or claiming it's their own just because they made a few grammatical changes.

It should be understood that the Niten Ichiryu is solely devoted to the understanding Hyoho of Miyamoto Musashi, his philosophy and that of the present Sohke, Imai Masayuki.

Any references elsewhere to this being connected to kendo, business,commercial enterprise, products, television, movie productions or books may be from reading Gorin no Sho, reading or watching fictitious works on the life of Musashi and possibly identifying with it in some particular aspect.

However a direct link to us by adding published material, commercials, produst names, videos or graphics of Hyoho Niten Ichiryu demonstrations to ones own ideas would be a flagrant misrepresentation. Contrary to this we do have study groups and people practicing in other countries.

 

The works and interview with Iwata Norikazu Sensei are also covered by copyright.

 

Anyone wishing to obtain further details on this should contact me directly.

 

I am aggrieved to have to add these comments to the site but seem to have no choice, due to the ever increasing misrepresentation and published literature and videos making these connections.
