12th generation branches (Tanimura & Shimomura)

From the 12th generation the system divides into two related styles, the Tanimura-ha ("ha" means "faction") and the Shimomura-ha. The Tanimura-ha eventually develops into the Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu, while the Shimomura-ha, through the auspices of Nakayama Hakudo, becomes known as the Muso Shinden-ryu.
