Yesterday, it was announced that an article about Tō‘on-ryū will soon appear in the April issue of Gekkan Hiden. The article was introduced as the first part, implying that there will be a second one.
Tō‘on-ryū 4th Generation Sōke – Ikeda Shigehide
The History and Techniques of Tō‘on-ryū – Part One: Kyoda Jūhatsu and Higaonna-ha Kenpō
We were informed about the article very early on and also know the name of the author. However, since the author is not mentioned in the announcement, I will also keep the name to myself for now.
Our own Tō‘on-ryū article is independent of this series and will be published later this year. It will likely delve much deeper into certain aspects of Tō‘on-ryū history.
Of course, I will buy both issues and highly recommend that everyone do the same.
