Hirayama Gyozo

Hirayama Gyozo (平山行蔵, Hirayama Gyōzō, also "Kōzō", 1759–1828) was a Japanese fencer and author of the Kensetsu ("Discourse on Swords").^[1] He founded the Chukō Shingan Ryū, an offshoot of the Shingan school,^[2] and emphasised the use of a shorter-than-normal sword.^[3] Gyozo is credited with developing the concept of the bugei juhappan (the "eighteen martial arts").^[4]
