The Gekiken Sōdan contains entries from 1790 on 114 different ryūha. It is provisional as:
• This TOC follows this edition’s front mokuroku. Nagao shows the mokuroku is defective (schools dropped, order divergent from the body); the BODY governs. A full body-vs-Nagao reconciliation is still owed to (a) reach the stated 114 and (b) settle the readings flagged below. Nagao’s roster table (p.127) — the authority for the full list — is OCR-garbled in the PDF on hand, so verify against a clean scan of that page or the body pages (imgs 097–114). • TO VERIFY (competing readings, NOT yet resolved from a clean source): – Kan 3: whether 戸田高柳流 (Toda Takayanagi-ryū) is a distinct entry alongside 戸田流; and body entries 常流 / 新流 apparently absent here. – Kan 4: 源念流 vs 深念流 (Nagao body may read 深念流); 集成流 appears in the body OCR — kan placement uncertain (kan 4 vs kan 5). – Kan 5: “海繩術流” is a doubtful reading — possibly two schools, 高繩流 (Takanawa-ryū) + 海術流 (Kaijutsu-ryū); body OCR of imgs 111–114 also shows 鐵人流 / 鐵心流 (and possibly 明也心鏡流) not present in this mokuroku.
There are five sections (volumes): Kan 1 to 5.
