鹿島神流一之太刀
Kashima Shinryū ICHI-NO-TACHI
“The centerpiece of Matsumoto[ Bizen-no-kami]’s swordsmanship was the concept of ichi-no-tachi. ... To perform ichi-no-tachi the swordsman enters his opponent’s striking range, drawing an attack, which he makes no attempt to block or otherwise divert. Instead, he steps inside—through, not around—and past the blow, to deliver a decisive stroke of his own.” [Karl Friday, Legacies of the Sword, (University of HawaiI Press, 1997), p. 27]
“The method of performing techniques used by Matsumoto Bizen-no-kami ... at the time when he developed Kashima Ichi no Tachi consisted of upper-body evasion and footwork evasion performed not just as a single action, but also performed at the same time as the attack. This method of evasion in a single action consists of the bodily movement expressed by the technical term “serikomi“ (競り込み,literally, “to squeeze in“).” [Seki Humitake, Hassun no Nobegane, Correctly Transmitted Kashima-Shinryû, , translated by William M. Bradford]
