Iai originated in the practical combative techniques known as battd (striking instantly with a sword while rapidly unsheathing it in one stroke) which were born during the ages of civil and martial disorder. These martial techniques, batto, as they yielded to the necessities of the subsequent ages of peace underwent drastic transformations in terms of both the way the techniques were preformed and their ideological forntations, and gradually developed into what is now known as iai. Within the process of this development, in terms of physical technique, the trend toward the practice of the art from a sitting posture occupies a central position. This central position is shared on the mental side with the philosophical reorientation of the art toward one possessing the fundamental nature of being directed toward a defensive response to a sudden and unexpected attack such as what might occurr even in an orderly society. This kind of iai, in both its physical and intellectual characteristics, was well suited to the peaceful social conditions of Tokugawa society. Iai was the model martial art for an age of social order. By developing in this way, undergoing many technical vicissitudes, the adoption of sitting in the formal posture of seiza, the use of the samurai's uchi-gatana (long sword worn through the belt with edge upwards) instead of the soldier's tachi (long sword slung from the belt with edge downward), and assuming the character of a mental discipline practiced without an opponent, iai eventually realized its standard form which has been preserved down to the present time.

The purpose of the present study was to clarify the activity of kenjyutsu, the traditional physical culture in Japan, practiced as a match or sport in the latter period of Edo era. The object of this study was Sekiguchi-school of Takeda family that was transmitted in the Yoshino River area in the province of Awa (Tokushima prefecture) . The authors investigated the actual condition and character of kenjyutsu in those days using the historical materials of "nogeiko" (the outdoor meet of kenjyutsu) of the school. The findings of this study were summarized as follows : 1) The "taryu-jiai", in which kenjyutsu had come to be practiced as a match in the latter period of Edo era, was carried mainly by the common people rather than the people in the class of samurai and was activated all over the country. 2) "Nogeiko" of Sekiguchi-school of Takeda family was intended to open to the public from the beginning, and it was planned elaborately and practiced systematically. Almost all of the matches in the "nogeiko" were practiced by one person against one, though these were practiced with some formations supposing an actual battle, and there were "metsuke"(referee) who judged victory or defeat. 3) These matches were practiced under the free and large-hearted atmosphere beeing unbound to the ethical idea of Confucianism, and this "nogeiko" had a character of an amusement or pleasure of the common people. 4) This case means that kenjyutsu was practiced as an activity of a match or sport, whose style agreed with several melkmarls pointed by Guttmann, in the province far from the governmental center of this country. This is assumed not to be particular in the area of Tokushima prefecture but to be general in the localities of this country in those days. 5) Practice of kenjyutsu as a match or sport like this and accumulation of the experience,which became a basic condition to accept modern sports since Meiji era in japan, seems to make the rapid diffusion of it easily.

The practical characteristics of Iai and Kenjutsu are quite distinct when they are phenomenally judged. In Iai, on the whole, unsheathing the sword is the most important technique and great weight is given to the process of unsheathing it. In Kenjutsu, on the other hand, the technique begins after unsheathing the sword and taking a certain posture (kamae). So we can regard the relation between the two as “mihatsu” (before unsheathing) and “ihatsu” (after unsheathing).Closer investigation, however, reveal that Iai has “kata” not only of “mihatsu”but also of“ihatsu”in the case of “tachiai” (initial moving from standing posture), and that Kenjutsu also has its own techniques to unsheathe the sword. Thus these two martial arts, in which to use the Japanese swords, have the technique in common with each other. But, the main purpose of Iai is to cope with emergencies in daily life, so the point of view was directed to various, broad aspects of daily life, and in Kenjutsu, the point of view was directed only to the aspects of fighting after taking a certain posture. On that point these two were remarkably different from each other.Iai and Kenjutsu, after Ede era, had tendency to develop in their own way and to specialize as well. But on account of this, there appeared reversed thought that these two should be regarded as compensating each other.

Sekiguchi-ryu of Takeda family was a kenjyutsu-school transmitted in the Yoshino-river area in the province of Awa. In this school “taryu-jiai” was practiced vigorously with the new training method, “shinai-uchikomi-geiko”, in the latter period of Edo era. Almost all of the “densho-rui”, the traditional writings, of the Sekiguchi-school are owned by the descendants now. There were many martial arts schools whose “densho-rui” have been lost by now, so the Sekiguchi-school seems to be a quite important case for us to know the whole “densho-rui” of martial arts school. In this paper I intended to clarify the kind of “densho-rui”, their awarding order, and the relation berween the new training method and the traditional awarding order of the Sekiguchi school during the period of shifting from the old training method to the new one. The results can be summarized as follows: (1) The number of the kind of “densho-rui” in this school which are confirmed by now is about fifty. Among these, eleven kinds of “denjyu-jyo” and “sho-jyo” which were from “Sekigwchi-ryu-hachikajyo”to “Injyu”, formed the traditional awarding order of this school, and were transmitted orderly to the disciples. (2) Six Kinds of “senkyo-jyo” were “sho-jyo” to recognize the six classes of this school which were established at the end of the 18th century. The skillfullness of the technique of the new training method regarded considerably important object to recognize the classes. (3) The traditional awarding order of the Sekiguchi-school was not changed or abolished after the establishment of the six classes. Nevertheless the significance of the traditional “waza” and awarding order based on it disapeared gradually. (4) “Toritate-seido” of the Sekiguchi-school was a characteristic form to instruct the disciples and to operate the martial arts school, and had a kind of character of “iemoto-seido”. “Toritate-seido” had been made because the new trainning method came to be practiced mainly in the Sekiguchi-school.

The purpose of this paper is to use historical materiology to study the reliability of the personal history of Toru Shirai as described in Tenshinden Shirairyu Heiho Tsukaikata, written by Shirai’s disciple Okunojyo Yoshida. To do so, we clarify the descriptive form and contents of the biography, the source of the information used by Yoshida to write the history, and we verify the truth of the content. The conclusions of this study can be summarized as follows: 1) The biography of Toru Shirai as described in Tenshinden Shirairyu Heiho Tsukaikata is based on what Shirai himself wrote in Heiho Mitchishirube. However, information about Shirai’s birth and social position were added to the beginning, information about his experiences that occurred after Shirai wrote Heiho Mitchishirube were added to the end, and anecdotes about his kenjutsu practice after age 8, including his matches against swordsmen from different schools, were inserted in the middle of Tenshinden Shirairyu Heiho Tsukaikata. 2) The added information is described in concrete terms, and some of it must have been communicated directly from Shirai to Yoshida. Judging from the related sources, Yoshida seems to have kept records of what Shirai said. Therefore, details of Shirai’s birth, social position, and anecdotes about his kenjutsu practice and so on must have been described based on Yoshida’s records. In that sense, the added information can be said to have a fairly high reliability as a historical source. 3) As a result of the detailed verification of the truth of Shirai’s birth, social position, anecdotes about his encounter with the ascetic Tokuhon, and other matters, it has been proved that most of the information is true. We can, therefore, conclude that Shirai’s personal history in Tenshinden Shirairyu Heiho Tsukaikata, written based on Heiho Mitchishirube that Shirai himself wrote and what Shirai said, has a fairly high reliability as a historical source from the standpoint of historical materiology.

高層ビルで大規模火災が発生した場合には,原則として全館避難が必要とされる。その全館避難の手法は,一斉避難と順次避難の二通りに大別される。 本研究では,高層ビルの避難誘導計画担当者および避難訓練参加者を対象に全館避難に関する二つのアンケート調査を実施した。その結果,避難階段内の混雑軽減および避難者の心理的負荷軽減の観点から,順次避難は一斉避難よりも有用な避難手法であることがわかった。また,高層ビルで順次避難を実施する際の避難フェーズ毎の最適な待機時間および避難対象階を算出する手法を開発した。この手法により,階段内の混雑を軽減できるばかりでなく,火災危険の高い階にいる在館者を優先的に避難させることができる。

This study investigates the nogeiko practiced by the Sekiguchi school of the Takeda family from the second year of Bunka to the end of the Edo Era. It clarifies the changes in practical form during that period and investigates the meaning of those changes as regards the evolution of kenjyutsu into a competitive sport utilizing historical nogeiko materials owned by the Takeda family. The findings of this paper can be summarized as follows : (1) There had been kenjyutsu schools which had adopted shiai, a training method using shinai (bamboo sword) and bogu (protector), before Chuzo Nakanishi, regarded as a pioneer in the reformation of training methods, adopted shinai-uchikomi-geiko during the years of Horeki. Such kenjyutsu schools played a leading role in the advancement of kenjyutsu-taryujiai when it began to spread ; the Sekiguchi school of the Takeda family was one such kenjyutsu school. (2) In the practical form of this school there were definite changes from the second year of Bunka to the end of the Edo Era as follow : a) Kata disappeared from practice and only matches were held. b) The format of matches which imitated actual fighting or which utilized traditional tactics was replaced by one which was simpler and more sportlike. c) Tosen, a duty which had been reserved for only a few kenjyutsu disciples of highest rank, came to be performed by those in each rank, including the lowest rank of the school. d) The nogeiko had been practiced by the Sekiguchi school as its own special event. But later they came to be practiced by several kenjyutsu schools gathered at one place. (3) As a background to such changes in the nogeiko, there were two factors. One was that there were qualitative changes in kenjyutsu itself, that is to say, its transformation into a competitive sport. The other was gokenbun, inspection by clan officials, adopted as a policy by clan rulers in order to promote development of the martial arts because of the tense social situation during the latter part of the Edo period.

In the latter period of Edo era, “shinai-uchikomi-geiko”, the new training method in which swordsmen wearing protectors strike and thrust each other unrestrainedly by means of bamboo swords, became popular and spread in place of the traditional method by means of kata of the school in Kenj utsu. With the propagation of the new method, “taryu jiai”, a match between swordsmen of different schools, which had been put under the taboo, got activated all over the country. There are, however, few detailed investigations into the process except for the Kanto area.The present study was undertaken to make clear how “shinai-uchikomi-geiko” propagated and “taryujiai”got activated in the Iwakuni clan.Major findings are as follows;(1) The trend in kenjutsu, the propagation of “shinai-uchikomi-geiko” and the activation of “taryujiai”by the new method, had extended to the Iwakuni clan at latest in the Tenmei or Kansei period. However at that time all the teachers of kenjutsu-schools refused to adopt the new method, so no one of the bushi-class adopted it and took part in “taryu-jiai” in the clan.(2) With the activation of “taryu-jiai” in the Iwakuni clan, there appeared participants to it in the bushi-class in the latter half of the Bunsei period. Moreover, there appeared teachers of kenjutsu-school who approved to adopt the new method and to take part in “taryu-jiai” in the next Tenpo period. And this became the main method of kenjutsu in the clan.(3) When Yoro-kan (the clan school) was established in the 4th of the Koka period, it was publicly decided to adopt the new method and to practice “taryu-jiai” in the school. At this time it was Katayama-school that defied the decision. Seven years later, however, the new method was adopted in the school in the 1st of the Ansei period. As a result, in all the kenjutsu-schools in the Iwakuni clan the new method came to be used and “taryu-jiai” to be practiced, while existential significance of the traditional kata and schools main-tamed with it became quite small.
