AMATSU TATARA

Most of this is from the Ninpo-L. And lots of it was posted by John Lindsey (Thanks).

Separated into approximately 108 scrolls over time.

Shinmei Shi no Hiden (4 main Families who hold scrolls)

1. Amatsu Tatara Nakatomi Hibumi (Nakatomi and Kuki Family)
2. Amatsu Tatara Kishin no Hibumi (Otomo Family)
3. Amatsu Tatara Hisshin Ginkoroku (Monobe Family) 22 scrolls

This is how the scrolls are broken down in the Hontai Takagi Yoshin ryu:

Hontai Takagi Yoshin ryu Jujutsu Menkyo:

• Shoden Mokuroku no Maki
• Chugokui no Maki
• Gokui no Maki
• Menkyo no Maki
• Kaiden Ryuko no Maki
• Kukishin ryu Bojutsu Menkyo no Maki

A couple of the ryuha can be connected to specific scrolls:

• Takagi Yoshin Ryu - Amatsu Tatara Rinpo Hiden
• Kukishin Ryu - Amatsu Tatara Nakatomi Hibumi
• Togakure Ryu / Hakuun Ryu / (probably Gyokko) - Amatsu Tatara Hisshin Ginkoroku

In March Tenwa 9 (1640's) the Amatsu Tatara was rewritten and reorganized by Fujiwara no Kamatari, who was awarded a copy by Emperor Tenchi (38th Tenno Tenchi). The original was divided into 5 scrolls, which were in turn divided into 36 sections and 9 subtitles. The most important scrolls were just as John wrote them out. However, it makes little sense unless without some description, so here is some:

• Amatsu Tatara Hibumi no Maki
• Hibumi Shiron
• Shinpi Kansei no Maki
• Kanseiron no Maki
• Shinrihen no Maki
• Kanagihen no Maki (Stickfighting scroll)
• Hokyo Hiden no Maki
• Tenmon Chimon no Maki (Heaven and Earth Strategies scroll)
• Chikujo no Maki (Fortification Design scroll)
• Jinei no Maki
• Gunrykau no Maki (Strategies scroll)
• Juho Kajutsu no Maki (Ten Ways of Using Fire scroll)
• Kishajutsu no Maki (Archery on Horseback scroll)
• Kenpo Hisohen no Maki (Swordsmanship scroll)
• Sojutsu Hibumi no Maki (Spear Fighting scroll)
• Naginata Hishohen no Maki (Halberd Fighting scroll)
• Bojutsu Hihohen no Maki (Staff Fighting scroll)
