Mugairyu |
El fundador, Tsuji Gettan (nacido Heinai), nació en el primer año de Keian (1648 en la
época del shogunato Tokugawa Iemitsu) en el pueblo Umasugi Miyamura de la Provincia
Omi. A la edad de 13 años aprendió el Yamaguchi-ryu Kenjutsu del Gran Maestro Yamaguchi
Bokushinsai en Kyoto. Fue galardonado con 16 años de experiencia licencia "Menkyo" y
viajó a Edo para abrir con el permiso de su maestro un dojo el distrito Kojimachi.
A pesar de que era un espadachín famoso regional, no fue particularmente percibido y enseñó
sólo un puñado de estudiantes.
Heinai sintió que su espíritu y sus enseñanzas tuvieron que aumentar.
Después de lo cual comenzó a estudiar Zen y la filosofía clásica china bajo el maestro
Sekitan Kyukoji en Azabu Templo (Tokio). Después de la muerte del Maestro Sekitan, se
enteró de otro Osho (monje) hasta la edad de 45 años, donde recibió el Satori (iluminación).
El siguiente poema le fue presentado bajo la instrucción del Maestro Sekitan:
Ippo jitsu Mugai
Kenkon Toku Ittei
Suimo Hono Mitsu
Dochaku Soku Kosei
No hay nada, pero la única verdad.
Es universal y permanente.
La pluma en el viento carga el verdadero secreto.
para ver la armonía en la confusión es la iluminación.
Heinai fue Gettan Sukemochi y desarrolló el Mugai Ryu bajo la primera estrofa del poema, en
el sexto año de Genroku (1693). Después de sus 20 años de entrenamiento en el Zen, fue no
sólo un maestro de la espada, sino también un estudioso del Zen equiparandose con los
Daimyo que visitaban a los Kyukoji.
Entre éstos Daimyo se encontraban nombres conocidos como Ogasawara Sadorinokami
Nagashige, el Señor de Umayabashi y Sakai Utanokami Tadataka, el Señor de Tosa y
Yamanouchi Toyofusa. En el octavo año de Genroku (1695) la casa de Tsuji Gettan se quemó
en el Gran Incendio de Edo, así el conocimiento del número de sus alumno se pirdió. De
acuerdo con el juramento entre los estudiantes del noveno año de la Genroku (1696) y el sexto
año de Hoei (1710), había daimyo de 32 casas, lo que representa una superficie de más de
10.000 koku, y otros 156 Jikisan (guerreros el mando directo del Shogun) y 930 estudiantes
de los medios adicionales.
Gettan esperaba una vida como un buscador de la verdad y por eso canceló las ofertas de los
daimyo diferentes, a trabajar como el maestro de la espada. Sin embargo, envió a su sobrino,
el segundo Mugai Ryu Soke (Gran Maestro), Tsuji Uheita como un maestro de la espada a la
familia Sakai del clan Umayabashi (más tarde el clan Himeji). Además, su hijo adoptivo, el
fallecido Soke tercero, Tsuji Kimata Sukehide, envió como un maestro de la espada a la
familia de Yamanouchi en Tosa. Un otro estudiante Isoda Nagashi de la familia Sakai en
Iseizaki aprendió de él y dio este conocimiento para continuar en la familia Naito del clan
Komoro.
A la edad de 61 años se le concedió una audiencia antes de la quinta Tokugawa
Shogun Tsunayoshi. Entretantos Tsunayoshi se murió y la audiencia nunca tuvo lugar. Pero el
hecho de que un Ronin recibía honorable una audiencia con el shogun estaba hablando de sí
mismo y era casi imposible. Gettan Tsuji fue Maestro de la espada y erudito Zen y creía que
ambos es inextricablemente vinculado. En su libro, que es una obra maestra, escribe: "Mugai
Shinden Kenpo es enseñado junto con los principios del Zen. Sólo si usted entiende esto,
usted debe preguntar al camino de la espada y luego etrenar en consecuencia."
Gettan requiere a sus alumnos a la meditación sentada (zazen) para aprender. Sólo
de acuerdo a la profundidad del Zen, Gettan dió a su pleno todo el conocimiento. Poco antes
de su muerte se dejó portretar como un monje en el Kesa (túnicas de los monjes) con una
escoba (símbolo budista de la paz).
Una otra foto lo muestra con un ojo avizor en el Kesa y un Bokuto (Espada de madera) en la
mano.
En última instancia Gettan se murió con 79 años, sin ningún pesar por la familia en el 23.
Junio 1727, el duodécimo año de Kyoho, la meditación sentada. Esto fue el mismo día de su
maestro Zen Sekitan.
# Mugai Ryu Iaihyoudo
Mugai Ryu Iai es en realidad Jikkyo-Ryu Iai, pero como maestros del Mugai Ryu lo
enseñaban, el nombre era familiar Mugai Ryu Iai. El fundador del Mugai Ryu, Tsuji Gettan,
aprendió el Jikkyo Ryu del fundador Taga Jikkyo Kan Morimasa. Las siguientes generaciones
de la familia Tsuji aprendieron continuando Jikkyo Ryu de los Gran Maestros (Soke) del
estilo.
Después de seis generaciones Jikkyo Ryu se quedó sin un sucesor y se encontraba en Mugai
Ryu integrado. El Jikkyo Ryu Iai, que era siempre enseñado al lado de las técnicas de espada
tradicional de Mugai Ryu, se fusionó con el Mugai Ryu por el Maestro Nakagawa Shiryu y
pasó a llamarse Mugai Ryu Iaihyoudo. Maestro Nakagawa Shiryu Seiichi fue el undécima
Soke del Mugai Ryu.
El sexto Soke del Mugai Ryu, Takahashi Hachisuke Mitsusuke, y su hermano Hidezo fueron
los primeros que han admitido técnicas de Jikkyo Ryu en la formación del Mugai Ryu.
Aprendieron bajo el quinto Soke de Jikkyo Ryu, Yamamura Masahige Tsukasa. Maestro
Nakagawa estructuró el Mugai Ryu en 20 Kata y en 3 Naiden (enseñanzas internas).
Enseñamos Mugai Ryu Iaihyoudo del undécima Soke Nakagawa Shiryu Seiichi. |
■Mugairyu Iaihyodo
|
Mugairyu Iai is actually Jikkyo-ryu Iai, but since Jikkyo-ryu was taught by Mugairyu instructors, it was generally refered to as Mugairyu Iai. The founder of Mugairyu, Tsuji Gettan, learned Jikkyo-ryu from its founder, Taga Jikkyo Kan Morimasa, and subsequent generations of the Tsuji family continued to learn Jikkyo-ryu from the successive soke (heads) of that style.
After six generations, Jikkyo-ryu found itself without a successor, and so the successors of Mugairyu inherited Jikkyo-ryu. The Jikkyo-ryu iai that had always been taught alongside the traditional sword tecuhniques of Mugairyu was amalgamated with Mugairyu by Mugairyu’s revivalist, Nakagawa Shiryu shihan, and renamed Mugairyu Iaihyodo. Nakagawa Shiryu Seiichi sensei was the eleventh Soke of Mugairyu and was the one who coined the name “Mugairyu Iaihyodo”.
The sixth Soke of Mugairyu, Takahashi Hachisuke Mitsusuke, and his brother, Hidezo, were the ones who genuinely adopted Jikkyo-ryu into Mugairyu training after training under the fifth Soke of Jikkyo-ryu, Yamamura Tsukasa Masashige. Nakagawa Shiryu Seiichi sensei organized this iai into 20 kata and 3 naiden (internal teachings).
Currently, we practice the “Mugairyu Iaihyodo” as it was organized and named by the eleventh Soke of Mugairyu, Nakagawa Shiryu Seiichi sensei. |
