Koppōjutsu

骨法術
KOPPŌJUTSU

Hatsumi Sōke described Koppōjutsu in his book, Unarmed Fighting Techniques of the Samurai as…

Cremated bones scattered into the air, their ashes dance in the sky and between the ocean waves. Life flows and trundles, a person’s life is never predictable. Someone who chases the future through predictions is called a swift runner (idaten; 韋駄天). Gather Buddha’s ashes and worship them.

Regard that scroll as the secret scroll of Koppojutsu. I know and have inherited the scrolls and traditions of Gikan-ryu koppojutsu, Gyokushin-ryu koppojutsu, as well as Seia-ryu koppojutsu. “Seia-ryu” means “The Frog in the Water Well School” (井蛙流). “Frog” (蛙) is pronounced “kaeru” in Japanese. “Kaeru” is also the word for “return” (帰る) – I strive to record the Koppojutsu that has returned from the past.

— Masaaki Hatsumi (From Unarmed Fighting Techniques of the Samurai)
