In September 1917 (Taisho 6) the annotation of the Dai Nihon Teikoku Kendo Kata was published, and a proper written explanation of the kata devised. In May 1933 (Showa 8) the enlarged annotation of the Dai Nihon Teikoku Kendo Kata was presented. It was at this time that it began to be known as the Nihon Kendo kata. In 1981 Select Committees met to study the original documents of the Dai Nihon Teikoku Kendo Kata and to discuss the possible revision and updating Nihon kendo kata by the documentation available. The first committee to make the draft consisted of five members: Tatsuo Saimura (Executive Director of ZNKR) Noburu Shigeoka, Akira Sato, Yuji Onishi and Hideo Muto (secretary ZNKR). It was then discussed by another committee with A Sato as chairman, and K Nakakura, T Tokimasa, K Isaka, K Takigawa, T Kogawa, T Saeki, Y Onishi, Y Nishi, K Takashashi, M Komorisono, T Morishima, K Wada and M Osawa. Another conference consisting of K Horiguchi, S Ono and N Kojima also discussed these matters. They found the edict difficult to understand. There was the possibility of misprints too, and it proved extremely hard to determine some of the exact technical explanations. It was decided then to take the Dai Nihon Teikoku Kendo Kata as it read, or they interpreted it, and change it into a more easily understood language by reclassifying certain terms such as seigan to chudan, right and left jodan. The result was established as the Nihon kendo kata but it still remained in essence the ‘Dai Nihon Teikoku Kendo Kata’.
