Hajime Risho Hayabuchi became the 16th Headmaster of Araki Muninsai Ryu Kenshibu

technique, but also trying to develop new techniques. He thinks Iaido is still useful in
modern society to live wisely and Kenshibu Do will help us to make our life happily and
.graceful.

and he has now been teaching Iaido and Kenshibu Do in England and France for more
than twenty years.
