Aragaki Seisho

I've been neglecting writing about kobudo for a while, so today I'll talk a little about Aragaki Seisho's kobudo. According to Nakamoto Masahiro Aragaki Seisho was the founder of Aragaki-ryu and created the following kobudo kata Urasoe no kon, Sesoko no kon, and Tsukenhantagwa no sai.  Additionally, his Aragaki-ryu also contained the kata Aragaki no sai and Shokyu no kon.
