Nakayama Hakudo was interested also Iai and thought that the best Iai was to be found in Tosa. He travelled there and requested teaching, but it took some time before Tosa Iaidoka accepted him. The Tosa people were proud (of their Iai inheritage) and thought that original Tosa Iai was only for residents of the Tosa Province.

Eventually Nakayama Hakudo Sensei received teaching from various high level teachers from Shimomura-ha as well as Tanimura-ha. Later he compiled what he had learned into system which is now known as Muso Shinden Ryu.
