SHINTO RYU SOGO BUJUTSU
Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu (天真正伝香取神道流) is one of the oldest extant Japanese martial arts, and is revered as a koryu bujutsu. The art has been continuously passed from teacher to student since its founding over 600 years ago by Iizasa Choisai Ienao (飯篠 長威斎 家直). Katori Shinto Ryu is an intangible cultural asset of Japan, as designated by the Chiba Prefecture Educational Committee.
