The Hano mainline transmission survived into the early 20th century through Santō Shinjūrō Kiyotake (山東新十郎清武). Santō was perhaps better known as a former Headmaster of Miyamato Musashi's (宮本武蔵) famed Niten Ichi-ryu Hyoho (二天一流兵補) school of swordsmanship and strategy, and while Santō is known to have awarded complete transmission of Yōshin-ryū to at least five students during his lifetime, he did not name an inheritor to the tradition prior his death in 1909. Contemporary Yōshin-ryū jujutsu dojo that trace their legacies through Santō's students can be found in Osaka and Nagasaki, while a dojo in Nara traces its descent through Ishii Riko Osamu (石井理子治). Ishii (died 1897) was the inheritor of the minor branch house (or bunke) established by Akasumi Tokuzenji Ikine (赤住徳禪寺伯嶺) in 1753.
