The term “densho” (伝承), derived from Japan, signifies the oral transmission of a rich heritage to future generations. It typically manifests as a manuscript or book detailing secret techniques exclusive to specific Japanese art and martial art schools, intended for those beyond the beginner level or the general public. These manuscripts may encompass various aspects such as the school’s structure, oral teachings, methods, or secretive techniques exclusively entrusted to heirs or individuals bestowed with mokuroku (a certificate indicating mastery of the art) or a permit from the master.
