I think that Uchida ryu tanjo would be very good for learning the type of movement necssary for using shikomizue. It was devised during the early Meiji era, about the same time that shikomizue were prevalent due to the ban on carrying swords. It is the use of the western style walking cane which had become very popular in Japan at that time. Uchida ryu is most commonly found as a subsumed art within Shinto Muso ryu jodo.
Many examples of it can be found on the web.
