A reconstruction, not a reinvention

How it was made

The websites of Edo Machi-kata Taiho Jutsu — e-budokai.com (2002–2013) and taiho-jutsu.net (from 2013) — are no longer online. This site was rebuilt in 2026 from Internet Archive captures of both, from documents kept by the organization, and from independent records such as the founder’s obituary and newspaper coverage.Source E38

New text written for this site summarizes those sources. It does not add events, people, quotations or translations that the sources do not support. Where sources disagree, the disagreement is noted.

Reading the source markers

Small markers such as A1 or B33 follow statements of fact. The letter is the type of source — A original organizational material, B independent, D owner-supplied file, E new research — and the number its entry in the source register, which links to archived originals wherever they exist.
