What do you mean by lineage of Aikijutsu?
The most known system of Aikijutsu is Daito Ryu, which is an art founded by Sokaku Takeda. I have read that it descended from various MA of the Aizu-han and the Takeda family, interspersed with Sokaku Takeda's own experiences in various kenjutsu school (I believe he studied Jikishinkage ryu and Itto ryu along with other arts).

There are other systems of Aiki, but they are either obscure or have unverifiable lineage (some are outright bogus). Some known systems of Aiki are Shidare Yanagi Ryu, Kaze Arashi Ryu, Takeda Ryu....

I know little about Japanese arts, so please excuse my ignorance.
I just like to learn about arts I don't know much about.

When was Daito Ryo founded?

Apparently the first records showing the name "Daito Ryu" was during the Taisho period (1912-1926) in Sokaku Takeda's enrollment books.

The term Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu seems to have come into play around (or after) 1922 after Sokaku Takeda Sensei's meeting with Onisaburo Deguchi (the leader of the Omoto Kyo religion and the spiritual advisor to Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido).

So I guess there is no specific date that shows the founding of this art.

BTW, if you are interested in learning more about Daito Ryu history, check the articles section at www.aikidojournal.com
