----------
In 1940 the third Ten-ran jiai (competition before the emperor) was held inside the imperial palace. This competition was held to commemorate the 2600th year in Koki (imperial calendar). Kendo, kyudo, and judo competitions were held for three days from 18th June, but on the 20th when the emperor was present, all competitors are said to have prepared themselves by bathing and visiting the shrine in the morning.
(around 1.00 minute of the video clip)
The first match in semi finals was between:
Kayaba Teruo from Miyagi prefecture (in Nito);
Yoshioka Shingo from Ehime prefecture (in Itto).
After a close match, Kayaba in Nito scored two Men to progress to the final.
(around 2.12)
The second match in semi finals was between:
Mochizuki Masafusa from Tokyo;
Takeshita Yoshiaki from Kagoshima.
Mochizuki won with quick movement to score two Men cuts. Thus as many people expected, Kayaba in Nito-ryu and Mochizuki from Tokyo progressed to the final.
(around 4.00)
Selected Competitors category
From all over the country, 32 competitors were selected on the ground of their excellent ability and character. The following four progressed to the semi finals:
Omori Kojiro from Kyoto prefecture;
Masuda Shinsuke, Shihan of Noma dojo;
Tsuzaki Kanenori, teacher of Kyoto Busen;
Ono Jyussei, Shihan of Keishi-cho.
(around 4:52)

The match was an exciting one living up to the expectation of the Selected Competitor category. Omori took the first point with Men, but Masuda from Noma dojo then scored two Men cuts to win the match.
(7.35)
The second semi final match was between Tsuzaki Kanenori and Ono Jyussei.
As in the first semi final, it was an east Japan vs. west Japan competition. This time, Tsuzaki Kanenori of Kyoto Busen won with Kote and Men.
As a result, Masuda of the east and Tsuzaki from the west progressed to the final.
(9.03)
Final of the Prefectural Competitors category
After long and difficult fights, Kayaba Teruo and Mochizuki Masafusa stepped forward for the final. The referees were:
Omote: Mochida Seiji Hanshi;
Ura: Saimura Goro Hanshi.
Under a tense atmosphre the final match started.
Kayaba who was undefeated up to this point takes a strong Gyaku-nito posture. However in face of strong pressure from Mochizuki, Kayaba is stepping back. Mochizuki is said to have studied how to defeat Nito by taking Gyaku-nito himself and practicing without sleeping the previous night. His effort seems to be paying off already...

Translation added by user smiyamura. Many thanks!
your're welcome, nice to share with you. I will put another video that looks like this one, but I'm not sure of the origin.
What an awesome video!
It's a shame the footage of the previous Ten-ran jiai was lost. (the finals)
thanks for the video, really nice to see more kendo history. There's actually some other clips that look like it's from the same video without the talking on youtube. It's of Moriji Mochida Sensei and somebody else.
wish they still could let us
この人たちは戦争でほとんどなくなったんだろうな
二刀が決勝に進出できるおおらかな剣道。いいですね
一刀流と二刀流なんて二刀流が勝つだろうに
Old movies pay slightly faster but you can see the difference between the spectators and the kendo fighters there extreemly fast look at 6:24 that is a hell of a technique dindt see that b4.
強えーーーー！！上手過ぎ！！みんなレベル100だわ、何だこれ初めて見た。
宮崎どころじゃねぇ・・やっぱり日本は滅んだんだな・・・
엄청나다... 이제 저 시절의 고류 검술은 대부분 사라지고, 일부 고류 검술만 남게 된건가? 안타깝다
It's my pleasure.

With refs to separate them and to cal the points...Otherwise they will just keep flailing on each other...
