Between 1626 - 1627, Ryōi Shintō-ryū (良移心当流) founder Fukuno Shichirouemon Masakatsu (福野七郎右衛門正勝) studied ‘Torite no jutsu’ (捕手の術 – hand taking) & ‘Kenpō’ (拳法 – fist striking method) from the Southern Shaolin Monastery (南少林) Chinese monk Chin Genpin (陳元贇) at the Kokushoji monastery in Azabu 麻布 in Minato, Tokyo)
I have just obtain a book (in Japanese) on Chin Genpin entitled 'Chin Genpin no Kenkyū' (陳元贇の研究 - research / study of Chin Genpin).
In confirmation of the above, I was interested to see the illustration of Chinese Boxing on page 115 (see above)
