"The Tokugawa shogunate standardized the size of swords in Japan to jo-sun. This is written as tei-sun meaning designated length. This was 2 shaku 3 sun (64.7 cm)."
This is definitely true and it is obvious that this definitely had consequences of some kind for the ryūha. But just mentioning the law and not reflecting it on the school answers nothing. One can rather delete this sentence then, as it is holds no information about what happened with Kage Ryū in those days.
Was it an "otome ryū", meaning it was exempt from those laws as it was the school of the body guards of some daimyō? Or did they continue practicing the old way clandestine? Or did it comply and use regular swords from that day on, until somewhere in more modern times, they decided to restore the old methods?
