武神館
The Bujinkan
The Bujinkan (Hall of the Divine Warrior) is an international organization founded by Sōke Masaaki Hatsumi to pass on the nine historical traditions inherited from his teacher, Toshitsugu Takamatsu:
Gyokko Ryū Kosshijutsu
Kotō Ryū Koppōjutsu
Kukishinden Ryū Happō Biken
Shinden Fudō Ryū Dakentaijutsu
Takagi Yoshin Ryū Jūtaijutsu
Togakure Ryū Ninpō Taijutsu
Kumogakure Ryū Ninpō Taijutsu
Gyokushin Ryū Ninpō Taijutsu
Gikan Ryū Koppōjutsu
While we usually translate 武神 (Bujin) as Divine Warrior, outside the Bujinkan, it is more commonly translated as God of War or Martial God. When Hatsumi Sensei first met Takamatsu Sensei, he felt as though he was in the presence of a god; so the name Bujinkan can be seen to be in honor of Takamatsu Sensei.
