Mugairyu: Strongest Swordsmanship School
The enduring strength of Mugairyu as a martial art can be understood from its historical significance. By the end of the Edo period and into the mid-Meiji era, two of the three renowned swordsmen known as 'The Three Greats of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police' were practitioners of Mugairyu, highlighting its long-standing reputation as a dominant swordsmanship school.
Mugairyu in Popular Culture
Mugairyu has been featured in many films, including 'After the Rain,' the last screenplay written by the famous Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. Its protagonist, Misawa Ihei, is a Mugairyu swordsman. Numerous novels, movies, and TV dramas have focused on this swordsmanship style.

What To Expect
Let's Experience Authentic Samurai in Tokyo
Samurai Sword Training at Musashinokuni Mugaikai
At the Musashinokuni Mugaikai (Musashinokuni Mugai School), practitioners diligently study the 'Mugai Shinden Mugairyu Iai Heiho,' compiled by the 11th generation Mugairyu master Nakagawa Shinichi. Nakagawa was a disciple of Takahashi Kyotaro of the Himeji domain, one of Three Prominent Figures of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police.
Exclusive Iaido Training
The Musashinokuni Mugaikai offers small-group Iaido sessions with the intention of providing careful instruction. These private sessions ensure a valuable experience for all participants, including beginners.
The Spirit of Ancient Martial Arts: Respect and Courtesy
Learning at an authentic Iaido dojo, beyond a tourist attraction, emphasizes the essence of traditional martial arts. This principle emphasizes the importance of respect in every aspect of training.
