- This video was shot in 2002 when Oda-sensei was 60 years old. Videographer not known.
This is Oda Katsuo, iaido hachidan hanshi and kendo nanadan kyoshi from Osaka, Japan. Oda-sensei is what I would consider a second generation iaido practitioner in the storied Yaegakikai tradition of Osaka. As many would know, Osaka is considered a major center of iaido development arguably second to that of the historic Kochi/Tosa region.
As with my own teacher, Oda-sensei studied iaido at the Shumphukai in Osaka, run by what was said to be a rather tough policeman named Sakamoto Kichiro.
Osaka-based Eishinryu, the characteristics of which exceeds the scope of the limited space here, generally falls into one of two categories: the strict Tanimura-ha centric style of the seito or orthodox line underlying the Zen Nippon Iaido Renmei, and a similar though somewhat more dynamic style of the Zen Nippon Kendo Renmei. Oda-sensei's style is of the latter.
Oda-sensei was a frequent traveller to Europe and North America. Outside of Japan, his style is perhaps most prevalent in Belgium and some neighboring countries.
Thanks for posting this, Oda Sensei will be missed, may he rest peacefully now.
I will personally miss Oda Sensei, may his zanshin live forever.... Luis Pires - Australia
My grandfather, Mr. Oda Katsuo, who returned to Japan, who has a baby child named Suweko Oda, who is still alive because of World War II, lives in Buton, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Magnifique.
Young Furuichi sensei sitting in the background?
Looks like him. You might be right.
Always productive to see your uploads. Thank you so much for sharing!!! Keep on!!! Did you happen to have at hand the full Embu of Miyata Sensei? It would be appreciated Sir.
Thanks Victor. I'll take a look for it. I know he's been to Europe a few times. He's Shinden, right?
@@Flashback_Jack Thanks!! Yes, he is MSR.
Nice man
Is there a possibility to look for other videos of the Hakone taikai ? How to do this ? Thanks a lot !
The Hakone videos are a set of very expensive ones that not many would purchase by choice. As a result, they are hard to come by in even deep Internet searches. I own the videos and have mostly posted the individual demos according to circumstance -- teachers pass, or others posting incomplete demos hence the "Hakone demo uncut" theme -- so as to not upset the copyright gods too much.
Who are you looking to see? All I have are Shinden and Jikiden demos.
Thank you for your answer !
I am looking for the video of my teacher Katsumata Kenichi (Tamiya Ryu)
(His teacher was Fukui Seiichi who originally set up the Hakone taikai.)
Hakone is also the dojo where we still meet & practice ;-)
Don't know the exact year of his participation... Probably around the same period of this Odo sensei video ?
We are all good friends ...
Thanks a lot !
(Maybe I can sent you a picture somehow ?)
Unfortunately Patrik, I don't have anything other than Jikiden and Shinden videos -- sorry about that. These came in a set of DVDs with separate costs according to the ryu presented on each set. If I had the video, I'd certainly upload it.
@@patrikdemuynck6383 Currently, there are videos of the following Tamiya Ryu competitors: Fukui Seiichi, Ueno Sadanori, and Miyakawa Isami. Unfortunately no Katsumata sensei.
@@dertodyami Really ? Really ? How could I order them or where to find them? Especially Fukui Seiichi. I studied many years under him...
