===Sōsuishi-ryū in Japan===
Today, Sōsuishi-ryū has three schools in Japan. The main line of Sōsuishi-ryū is practiced at the Shadanhōjin Sekiryūkan (社団法人隻流館). This is the hombu (本部) dōjō (home dōjō) of the ryu and it is located in [[Fukuoka Prefecture|Fukuoka]], Japan. It is headed by the current hereditary [[shihan]] (head teacher) of the ryu, Manzo Shitama.

The Kosonkai, teaching what is formally named ''Edo-den Sosuishiryu Kogusoku Koshi No Mawari'' (which is also from the Matsui-ha lineage), is led by Manabu Ito with a hombu dōjō in Tokyo as well. The Kosonkai performs demonstrations at the Nihon Kobudo Shinkokai embutaikai circuit.

While these schools practice independently of one another, they maintain a respectful relationship. Manabu Ito and Yoshihiko Usuki have traveled to the Sekiryukan to train with Shitama Sensei and view Manzo Shitama as the hereditary Shihan of Sōsuishi-ryū.
