Thank you for your question.
The life of a Shirindan(士林団) warrior who has studied Tenshin ryu is as follows in the loreThey were led by one kumigashira(Small group leader) and four other samurai, for a total of five members working in a small group.
The exact number of members is not clear in Tenshin Sensei’s memory, but it seems to have been a group of about five to ten.
(In other words, it is estimated that there were between 25 and 50 people.)
They worked on a rotating basis, giving lessons, standing by, and conducting clandestine surveillance activities.
They had a stuffing house (a dual-use practice area) just inside the Hirakawa Gate of the Edo Castle. They kept vigil at night, with one group doing the “night watch” and the other group sleeping there to prepare for the night.
Whenever they were assigned to spy outside of Edo or to convey information on a mission, they basically went there as a group of five. When a kumigashira (small group leader) received an order on paper from a superior, he would show it to the other four members when he received it, and then leave the room. The paper was ceremoniously cut with a sword, and afterwards, after a ceremony to pray for their safety, they set out on their journey through the waterways within Edo Castle. At the end of the journey, there was a hiding place, where they prepared their traveling clothes, etc., and if they were to disguise themselves, they did so and embarked on a full-fledged journey.
Especially in the early Edo period, the Kyushu area was very strictly monitored by the local clan in that region, and many Shirin-dan samurais did not return.
At times, we practiced with several pairs.
They had an outdoor practice area (including a pond), an indoor practice area with a dirt floor, an indoor practice area with a wooden floor, and an indoor practice area with tatami mats, as well as a small, narrow room behind the indoor practice area with tatami mats, where secret techniques were taught to a limited number of samurai.
Regular training sessions begin early in the morning, with warm-up training first to warm up the body. Then, the training begins in earnest with a zazen meditation session in the morning sun. Basically, they practice in groups of five, but they also have regular joint training sessions with several other groups.
This is a long story, but at a glance, here is the general picture of their life as it was communicated to us. But because it is fragmentary, we hope that Tenshin Sensei will recall more subtle and much more information.鍬海政雲
