SCHOOLS FOR ARRANGEMENT

compositions of the class are nearing completion, Ikenobu himself appears, to give the final verdict on every arrangement. After much bowing and drawing in of the breath, the entire class follows him about, stopping with him before each arrangement, in order to profit by the criticisms on the work of every pupil in the class. If you prefer, an instructor will be sent from the temple to your own residence, but he, of course, will be an understudy and no one so important as Ikenobu himself.

This school is a development of Rikkwa, and its branches include the schools of

Higashiyama-Ryu Senki-Ryu
Enshiu-Ryu Seizan-Ryu
Misho-Ryu
