Ono Ha Ittō-ryū is one of the most influential Kenjutsu schools in Japan.
Ittō-ryū stands for “one sword school” (or “one stroke school”) and Ono Ha Ittō-ryū (OHIR) can be translated as the Ono fraction of Ittō-ryū .
Ono Ha Ittō-ryū was developed by Ono Jirōemon Tadaaki (1565-1628), himself student and immediate successor of Itō Ittōsai Kagehisa, who was at the origin of Ittō-ryū. The aim of this school is to defeat the opponent with one stroke, hence the name “Ittō” which should be interpreted as “one stroke” or “one beat (flow)”. The reference to “one” is also philosophical
and indicates that everything starts with one and ends with one. “One” refers also to Kiriotoshi (cut to drop), which is the basic technique in the school. Nevertheless it is said that the thrust or Tsuki is the most feared technique in Ittō-ryū .
