It will be Kenjutsu that underwent transfiguration most of the budo in the last days of the shogunate. In the evolution of 'the theory of the practical bugei', Kenjutsu was forced to change in quality in the position between the hojutsu (the Japanese gunnery) raising its head and the declining kyujutsu (the Japanese archery)and jujutsu.Now in this paper, mainly considering the various materials related to Sugane Kubota and Nobutomo Odani which were cleared up in the research, and refering to the documents related to the Itto-ryu Kenjutsu, positively I discussed the inclination of the change in guality of Kenjutsu in the last days of the shogunate.I will arrange them in order next.Shinai Uchicomi Shiai Kenjutsu (the Kenjutsu by the matches hitting each other with shinai) whose systematization of the technics had been immature was weeded out taking it as an opportunity long shinai's coming into vogue, and, the disciplining and practical Kenjutsu was groped by Kenjutsuka (the proffssor of Kenjutsu), with it, the systematization of the teechnics of Shinai Uchicomi Shiai Kenjutsu had progressed.

Kakegoe can be translated into "shouting" in English. In the matches of the Modern Kendo, various types of Kakegoe, such as 'Men''Kote''Doo''Yaa''Too', have been used. This study has two purposes. One is to clarify where Kakegoe of Kendo is traced back to, and the other is to point out the erroneous assumptions in the former studies of Budo history in order to offer the study of Budo history a new perspective. The gist of this paper is as follows:(1)In the Edo period, there were various schools of Kenjutsu with Kakegoe and various ones without Kakegoe. The KASHIMA-KATORI-SHINTO Schools, for instance, handed down Kakegoe. On the contrary, the SHINKAGE Schools and the ITTO Schools, which were the mainstream of Kenjutsu in the Edo period, did not hand it down. (2)The main function of Kakegoe of Kenjutsu in the Edo period was to increase and display the spirit of the performer, and was similar to that of the spells in Esoteric Buddhism. Some acting elements existed in Katas which were practised in the schools of Kenjutsu with Kakegoe in the Edo period. Because people belonging to these Schools somtimes used Kakegoe for the purposes of giving their opponents the signs of attacking and of expressing their feelings. (3)All schools of Kenjutsu with Kakegoe were local in the Edo period;that is to say, Kakegoe was handed down in the Schools mainly consisting of peasants. Neverthless, their modes of Kakegoe existed in the Shinai-Uchikomi-Shiai-Kenjutsu which became the mainstream of Kenjutsu by the last days of the Tokugawa shogunate and was the original form of the Modern Kendo. (4)It has been considered in the former studies of Kendo history that the Modern Kendo developed from the ITTO Schools and so on which were the mainstream of Kenjutsu in the Edo period. But, the history of Kakegoe tells us that the former studies of Kendo history are one-sided, and that the Modern Kendo can be traced back not only to the samurais' Kenjutsu but also to the Peasants' Kenjutsu.
