Just uploaded my new website on Araki-ryu (http://www.arakiryu.org). Very heavy on the history side of things.
It's an ongoing project, as I've got a pile of untranslated documents - some modern, some rather old - that, as I locate people able and willing to translate, I'll be able to upload more info.
Because Araki-ryu never had a centralized authority or absolutely standardized curriculum, one can get an interesting cross-section of old Japanese bujutsu, particularly in regards to how it developed from close-quarter combative techniques with weapons.
