Kuroda Han
Yagyu Shinkage-Ryu
Heiho, Aratsu-kai
A 600-year-old traditional
Japanese sword style, with a
well-documented and very
distinguished history.
This particular sword group was
sent to serve, protect and advise
Lord Kuroda, Lord of Kyushu.
Kamachi Genzaburo Shigenami
was the 13th Dai Soke
(Headmaster) for 56 years, from
1942-1998.
Paul Araki-Metcalfe, Shihan, heads the school in
Perth, Western Australia.
In the next issue of Cutting Edge, Paul outlines the
school and gives some insight into the background to
this slowly disappearing style of swordmanship.
