When was "karami-di" first mentioned in Okinawa?

 

From my "Hokusai Manga #6" (1817): Hojojutsu (alternatively pronounced Torinawajutsu). The first Western description is found in Don F. Draeger's 3 volume series of Classical Japanese Bujutsu and Budo. In Japanese, Fujita already covered the whole topic including history and countless depictions from various Koryu styles in the 1950s. When was "karami-di" first mentioned in Okinawa?
