If a school of Japanese martial arts is overly concerned with flashy posing, techniques it can’t prove in it’s own written records, & dressing up as if it were in a samurai movie, you can bet it is simply using an ancient established name to push fantasy. Yes, sadly Japan has fraudulent martial arts schools too.

Kuwami Masakumo (鍬海政雲) was born in Hokkaido in 1978. He practiced the one of Japanese martial arts since childhood. When he was teacher of the one, he met Nakamura Tenshin (中村天心) by strange coincidence, and devoted his time to learn Tenshinryu.
