柳生宗矩の兵法観 ―「第二伝書」における心法論を中心に―

抄録

The Shinkage-school founded by Hidetsuna Kamiizumi was flourished under Munenori Yagyu in the early Edo period. Munenori published three densho about the method of Kennjutsu martial arts. The first book's title was “heihou kiriai kokoromochi",the second was “Shinkageryu heiho kokoromochi",and the third was “Heihou kadensho" • For this paper, I picked the second book, which was finished in 1626. In this book, there were 110 passages written about sword technique and self control toword when facing opponents. It was very important for Yagyu-shinkage school “not to be cut" ,and this teaching, “not to be cut" was the basic lesson in this school. In this basic lesson, the method of self control was more important swordman can anticipate than the technique The reason is that with proper self control an opponents moves, and never be cut himself. This is the mystery of Yagyu-shinkage school, and the reason this school was called “the school of mind (Kokorono-Heiho)" .
