Historical & Technical analysis from Daito ryu Jujutsu 
Hiden Mokuroku 大東流柔術秘傳目録

The Hiden Mokuroku scroll was the first certification level in Takeda Sokaku's Daito Ryu and the oldest known example of this catalog dates from 1899 (the eimeiroku of Sokaku begin in 1898).

This is due to the fact that of most of his personal enrollment books (Eimeiroku) and payment ledgers (Shareiroku), in which he had recorded detailed information on his teaching activities, have been preserved. These books contain the names and addresses of students, techniques taught, when taught,  amounts paid, and other relevant information.  

Takeda Sokaku's Eimeiroku

During his lifetime Takeda Sensei taught about 30,000 students and some of them were politicians, military officers, judges, policemen, and other persons of high social standing from all over Japan.
He certified approximately 30 peoples as Kyōju Dairi (教授代理, "representative instructor") including many famous martial artists ( Yoshida Kotaro, aikido founder Ueshiba Morihei, Matsuda Toshimi, Sagawa Yukiyoshi, Horikawa Kodo, Takuma Hisa , Yamamoto Kakuyoshi ).

Takuma Hisa Sensei and Masao Tonedate of Asahi News dojo received Menkyo kaiden in 1939

Sagawa Yukiyoshi , who was propably his highest student, received Menkyo Kaiden ( 免許皆伝 total transmission )in May 1938 and in September 1939  Seito-Sōden (正統総傳 Inherited total transmissions).

Sokaku awarded this Hiden Mokuroku scroll to the students who participated to 3 periods of  10 days seminar.
