kuki-shinryu Yoroi

Kukishin Ryu is a martial art handed down in the family of Kumano Betto (a descendant of Fujiwara clan that served at the Northern Court). Kukishin Ryu developed into a form with a unique philosophy when the Betto family had an encounter with Tenshinhyoho, a secret martial art created by Kiitsuhougen at Mt. Kurama, at the time of unprecedented disturbances in Japan (called the time of the Northern and Southern Courts). This is the martial art with a Shintoistic background handed down to the lord of Ayabe, the Viscount of Kuki ---Kukishinden Tenshinhyoho, or Kukishin Ryu.
