Here's an exploration some years ago:

The main point (written by your truly)
I recently dug up the following books, separately, by chance. I'm wondering if anyone has info on this gent and his dojo.

深井子之吉 Fukai (Nenokichi? sp?) wrote a couple of books, 1st ed. 1911, published by 帝國尚武會 Teikoku Shoubukai, which is apparently the name of their dojo, too. He was the shihan.

柔術教授書　虎の巻　Jujutsu Instruction Manual - Book of the Tiger
柔術教授書　龍の巻　Jujutsu Instruction Manual - Book of the Dragon

The books have a lot of 当身 striking, a range of self defense and fairly offensive moves. The books themselves look like they were not commercially published but rather were sold individually, perhaps to dojo members or subscribers, as there is a place for the member's name on the cover.

The instructors were two brothers named Noguchi. Their father was involved in the 武徳会 Butokukai, and before that the family was perhaps involved in the Tokugawa bakufu military instruction system (haven't closely read the intro yet.)

One is Noguchi Senryuken 野口潜龍軒, the founder of 神道六合流　Shinto Rokugo Ryu / Noguchi Ryu Jujutsu, who also in 1911 wrote the book 柔術修業秘法 Jujutsu Shuugyou Hihou - Secret Jujutsu Practice Methods.

"This very rare Jujutsu text was written in 1912 - the year that the author formed Shinto Rokugo Ryu - a school of Jujutsu based on 6 older schools. The emphasis in this ryu was to make learning easier and faster. With a focus on atemi, this book shows how to build a striking dummy. The rarity of this book is due to the fact that it was only sold to exclusive members.

Contents include:
-Jujutsu shugyo
-Techniques
-Secret of jujutsu shugyo
-Knowledge of gokashu-ho
-Noguchi style jujutsu
-And more "
(above quote from the link above)

Noguchi Senryuken is also listed on a Japanese website as 帝國尚武會創始者 自稱8段 ('Teikoku Shoubukai Founder / self-professed 8th dan')

also fought, and lost to, Ad Santel, the famous wrestler, in Tokyo in 1915.

(Source: Japan Times, 3 Mar 1921, 5; Japan Times, 25 May 1921, 8.
Ad Santel defeated Senryuken Noguchi - 11/30/15)

Shinto Rokugo Ryu and Noguchi Ryu seemingly disappeared with these gents.

I have multiple editions of their books, which can be bought in Japan.

They were fairly abundant as the Noguchi brothers actually had a sort of mail order martial arts business - you buy their books, apparently send in an affidavit that you finished that leg of the course, and they'd sell you a promotion and the next course. And I think the entire thing has been reprinted at some point.

When I start selling books I'll post here.
