    The history of Sukedachiya

    Tadanobu Nouchi, the real father of the Representative Nouchi Hanamine and the one who created the "Nouchi school", which is the technique used by Sukedachiya ohako. He trained under Akinori Tani, the only Japanese teacher to win an Academy Award in sword fighting category. After that, he has been active for 40 years as a swords fighter who appears in famous works such as "Zenigata Heiji", "Mito Komon" and "Zatoichi" series. He has taught sword fighting at the New Kabuki Theater and the Goen-za Theater, including performances by Hiroshi Itsuki, Aya Shimazu, Yoshimi Tendo, and Hiroshi Miyama. Hanamine Nouchi, who grew up watching such a figure up close as a daughter, learned sword fighting and dance from an early age, and at the age of 17, became strongly determined to become a full-fledged female swordfighter, and the sword fighting performance group " Sukedachiya ohako" is launched.
