In old Japan, left-handed people were corrected to right-handed people. So the samurai wears his sword on his left hip. If a samurai had a sword on his right hip, it would be like a car running backwards on the road. However, it is a good practice to control the body to the left and right. Also, many of the old samurai had deformed pelvis because they lived with swords for many years. This causes back pain. Modern people don't wear a sword for such a long time, but even for a short time, if only one is used, the balance of the body will be lost. Therefore, Tenshinryu sometimes recommends wearing a sword on the right hip and practicing with the left hand. Tenshinryu also teaches that you need to use your left hand as freely as your right hand and train yourself to pull out your sword.
昔の日本では左利きは矯正されました。
そして原則として刀は左腰に指します。
左利きなので右腰に帯刀するということが絶対にないとは言い切れませんが、これまでの絵や文献では存在が確認されたことはありません。
(幕末の写真で、左右が反転しているためそう見えるものは存在しますが)
しかし長年左腰に帯刀することで、多くの武士は骨盤が歪んでいたことが骨の発掘調査でわかっているそうです。
それに比較すれば短時間な現代でも、稽古により体のバランスは崩れてしまい、時に腰痛の原因にもなるため、天心流では時々右腰に帯刀して稽古することを推奨しています。
またそもそも天心流では、左手でも抜刀し、また右手のと同じように扱えなければならないと教えられます。

新百合ヶ丘支部の稽古より、立合での刀礼の指導と稽古。
刀は私物にあらず、賜りものであり、士分としてこれを用いるのは公のためという誓いを新たにして刀を神前に捧げるのが天心流における刀礼です。
ご神前など格別な際に用います。
From the Shin-Yurigaoka branch training, teaching and practicing Torei (刀礼) at Tachiai.
The sword is not a personal property, it is a gift, and using it as a samurai is for the sake of the public. This is the meaning of Torei in Tenshinryu.
It is used on special occasions such as in front of the shrine.
