The Densho Project

Name: Kinetsushu - Tora no Maki (The Tiger scroll)

Dimension: 20 cm * 200 cm

​

This particular scroll is part of a larger volume of works on strategy, referred to as the "Kinetsushu", dealing with the Gunbai (war fan). Although not mentioned it is known that Kamiizumi Ise no Kami, the founder of Shinkage-ryu, was an adept of this particular style of heiho. It was issued during the Genroku era (1688 - 1704). The cover of this replica is made of silk and the himo is attached directly under the cover. For the future I´m planning to add another scroll of this collection dealing with the tessen.
