[A study on "Sugiyama Shinden Ryu" which is owned by Sugiyama Kengyo Itoku Kenshokai].
Waichi Sugiyama (1610-1649) is the first Sokengyo. He is famous for being the first to use the tube technique for acupuncture. However, his technique was not clear in his book "Sugiyama Ryu Sanbu Sho", because his work was orally taught or even secret. Wadaichi Shimaura is the third Sokengyo, who is a Sugiyama's superior pupil. He edited "Sugiyama Shinden Ryu, which was compiled from Sugiyama style, and which was summarized from Sugiyama's oral teaching and secrets and from the second Sokengyo Yasuichi Mishima. The existence of the book and its outline was known by the mimeographed book published in 1928. The original six books of "Sugiyama Shinden Ryu", one separated volume, and two scrolls were discovered last year. This discovery was very important in the history of acupuncture in Japan, because they showed Irei style which is a base of Sugiyama style. This discovery will help with the knowledge and understanding of acupuncture over the years in Japan.
