Abstract
“JIK1SHlNRYU JUDO — ORIGIN OF THE NAME, TECHNIQUES AND PHILOSOPHY —” a leading study on the genealogy of Jikishin-ryu-jujutsu was announced in 1990. The role of the Jikishin-ryu-yawara-jo was used in that study as a basis for arranging and presenting a genealogy of Jikishin-ryu-jujutsu. However, the reading about and understanding of the role of the Jikishir-ryu-yawara-jo were insufficient in that study, thus the genealogy of Jikishin-ryu-jujutsu as presented in that work was not arranged well enough.
In this study, the genealogy of Jikishin-ryu is reeaxamined through the Jikishin-ryu-yawara-jo, and an investigation is made as to whether Mitsuhide TERADA was the originator of Jikishin-ryu-jujutsu.
The findings of the research indicate that Mitsuhide TERADA was not the founder of Jikishin-ryu-jujutsu.
