Saito Denkibo learned Shinto Ryu (新当流) from Tsukahara Bokuden and founded Ten Ryu, so tradition states, after a dream he had at Tsurugaoka Hachiman Jingu in Kamakura. Bugei Shoden (武芸小伝) states this was on the 21st day of the 11th month of the 21st year of Tensho　(1593), when he was 31 years old.[2] In Nihon Bujutsu Shoryushu (日本武術諸流集) it states that this was actually the 19th day of the 10th month of the 9th year of Eiroku (1566).[1] Ten Ryu Shodenn Shinto Ryu Heiho Denmyaku (天流正伝新当流兵法伝脈) states, however,　that he had been a student under Tsukahara Tosanokami Yasumoto's son Shin'uemon Yasuhide, and founded Ten Ryu because he had been hamon'd (cut off) from that line. It goes on to say that he died of an illness at the age of 38.[1]

The kusarigama used in Ten Ryu has a 1-shaku 2-sun handle, a 4-sun 5-bu long blade, and the chain is measured to the two hands of each individual.[1]

He had many Daimyo pupils.

The Naginatajutsu of this Ryu spreads most in the present. It was one of the foundations of atarashii naginata.[3]
