"This is a Koryu Kata (Old School Forms) from Kito-ryu Jujutsu which was the ancestor to modern-day Judo. In Judo, this kata is very similar to Koshiki no Kata.

Tori is 86 year old Inoue-Sensei (Kito-ryu Jujutsu Menkyo and Judo Hachidan [8th]) and his favorite Uke (Judo Rokudan [6th]). This performance was at the 2013 Judo Kata World Championships in Kyoto City's Butokuden (Budo Center). Oct. 20, 2013."

AIKI PRINCIPLE OF THE OLD SYSTEM: KITO RYU by Dr. William Durbin

Some web sources published the Content and meaning of Ten No Maki from Kito ryu - you can buy some Ten no maki scans on DVD in ebay and other... you can insert term "Ten No Maki" to google and you can see...

I found the Ten no maki explanation here http://www.meigetsudojo.org/en/content/kito-ryu-ten-no-maki

Kito Ryu Ten no Maki

Following are some excerpts explaining the main ideas of "Hontai" (true body). The "Hontai" means Shinrikyorei (the condition of nothingness). The purpose of this is "Shinkifudo" (or Fudoshin = immovable heart). When you meet the enemy and a feeling rises up that this is the enemy, then already the heart is moving. If the heart is already moving this is no good. If you can look at and meet with the enemy with "Fudoshin" (immovable heart) and keep completely relaxed then this is already the "Hontai". We can say that this is the "Fudochi" (wisdom of Fudoshin).

To get the "Fudoshin" like "God's spirit" we must effort in our daily lives. By having this spirit and an enemy stands before you, you can completely consume him. This we may say is the first timing. For example if something is begun by the enemy and I am in the state of "Shinkifudoshin", the enemy will be unable to do anything soon. "So I can surely promise victory".

Many different Ryu often refer to "Hontai". The meaning of "Hontai" is well explained in the Kito Ryu scroll. So I will make an explanation. This "Hontai" contains everything about the backbone of Taijutsu and the fundamentals of the spiritual part. This "Hontai" equals the heart condition. It is like a straight wave up peace that doesn't move up or down. The mind/spirit quality equates to the deepest state of the soul. This spirit is when you can look at anything - something can happen, but you are not surprised, never moved. This is the true "Fudoshin". The atmosphere can't be completely conveyed by words. It can't be understood only by reading. Yet if the reader of this has a high grade spirit then upon reading these words he can readily and immediately understand. Such a grade of person has the state of a great Master or Grandmaster. And the scroll goes on to say that in meeting the enemy, have an immovable heart and stay peaceful as like the enemy and you are one.

SHISHIDA's Budo Philosophy from Waseda University

SHISHIDA's Budo Philosophy Lab wrote:As for my field of research, my graduate students and I read and analyze Japanese martial arts source documents, most of them written during the Edo period. From 2005 through 2007, we studied the literature of Kito-ryu Jujutsu, including the Hontai-no-maki, Ten-no-maki, Chi-no-makiChi-no-maki, Jin-no-maki, Seikyo-no-maki, Toka-syu, and Toka-mondo. Kito-ryu Jujutsu is one of the most important Japanese martial arts because it was learned by both judo founder Jigoro Kano as well as aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba. One of my students completed a masterfs thesis on the actual training conditions of Kito-ryu jujutsu during the Edo era and has been writing an article on the relation between judofs shizen-tai (natural posture) and Kito-ryufs hon-tai (basic posture).

Inoue sensei performed the single Kitó ryú kata he performs (known today as judo's Koshiki no Kata) at last week's Kobudo demo at the Nihon Budokan - remarkably well given his age. Flopping down on a hardwood floor (which does not give at all - I know from personal experience) is not for everyone, especially someone near 90.

He and another gent received special awards from the Association. It may have been his last performance - it seemed to be an effort on his part.

This year in the Nihon Budokan while demonstrating, Inoue sensei collapsed and fell quite hard, hitting his head. Most folks thought it was part of the kata, but I knew when he missed the pull down and fell that it was not. He was taken to the hospital for a couple of days observation, but was released with a clean bill of health.

When I'm his age I hope I can do half as much.

Amen to that.

A Study of the Techniques of the Kitoryu jujutsu with a
Focus on the Documents of the Sanada Family

Abstract
　By compiling documents on jujutsu into one collection, Jigoro Kano employed his efforts to
transmit the excellent aspects of jujutsu to judo while developing the education for pre-modern
Japanese society. The Kitoryu jujutsu, to which Master Kano was deeply committed, is believed
to have greatly infl uenced judo, but there are few studies on the techniques of the Kitoryu jujutsu.
Therefore, sharing the information on the techniques is important, even in the sense of activating
them.
　This study examines the techniques of the Kitoryu jujutsu, as presented in the documents of the
Sanada family by preparing a catalogue of the manuscripts and materials on the transmission of
the mysteries and secrets of jujutsu that are included in these documents, as well as by providing
information-sharing of the historical materials. The results are as follows:
⑴ There are 60 volumes of materials related to the Kitoryu jujutsu, in the Sanada Treasure
Museum, which I have listed. These materials are manuscripts that also include the materials
of the Kootsuryu and Shintoryu. The manuscripts for the transmission constitute the mysteries
and secrets of the group that studied under Seibei Kunitaka Suzuki, whose school was known
as the Suzuki Sect of the Kitoryu jujutsu. Councillor Sadanobu Matsudaira had studied under Kunitaka, and Yukitsura Sanada, the second son of Sadanobu, was the family head of the 12th
generation of the Sanada family.
⑵　The teachings of the Suzuki Sect of the Kitoryu jujutsu emphasized the ‘hontai’ , the
fourteen kata and the seven kata that were the same as that of the other sects. However, in
addition to ‘forms’ , the Suzuki Sect of the Kitoryu jujutsu had established unique training
methods, such as ‘kiriwakare’ and ‘kachikake’ .
　In the Suzuki Sect of the Kitoryu jujutsu, the training process was firmly established and
emphasised techniques aimed at the transmission of the techniques of the ‘hontai’ . It is believed
to have infl uenced Kunitaka’s view on training, which was motivated by education, and described
as ‘transmitting the way through techniques’ .

Kitō-ryū jūjutsu and the desolation of Kōdōkan jūdō’s Koshiki-no-kata
―Remembering Inoue Shōji (1927-2018)

Abstract
Inoue Shōji (1927-2018) was born in Tokushima prefecture, Japan. As a youngster he took up jūdō. Later, he studied Kitō-ryū jūjutsu for some time with Odaka Shigeru. During his professional career as a prison guard he followed up on an offerto become a jūdō therapist. In a dōjō in the Yamashina-ku ward in Kyōto he taught both jūdō and a limited catalogue of Kitō-ryū that included exercises that were adopted into Kōdōkan jūdō under the name koshiki-no-kata [The Antique Forms]. With Kōdōkan jūdō continuing to deteriorate into an ordinary sport and losing its core values and purpose, Inoue increasingly appreciated the traditional martial arts values preserved in Kitō-ryū jūjutsu. His enthusiasm was reflected in beginning to give public demonstrations at various events in Japan and becoming a representative of Kitō-ryū in the Nihon Kobudō Kyōkai. Inoue’s supreme moment of glory likely was his public demonstration in 2013 at the occasion of the Fifth International Judo Federation (IJF) World Kata Judo Championships held in Kyōto. It was this performance that introduced him to the international jūdō community and brought him certain fame. For most foreign jūdōka this was their first contact with Kitō-ryū. Irrespective of the quality of Inoue’s display, his approach offered a counterweight against the Kōdōkan’s historic reinvention and the IJF sports kata caricature. Several video clips publicly available on YouTube remain as a lasting memory of his art. Inoue Shōji held the rank of Kōdōkan 8th dan, and peacefully died in Kyōto on October 30 th,2018.
