Kuchiki taoshi (朽木倒) is a single leg takedown in Judo adopted later by the Kodokan into their Shinmeisho No Waza (newly accepted techniques) list.

Yaichihyōe Kanemitsu criticized it as a takedown lacking finesse, but included it in his acumen nonetheless.

[1] Kuchiki taoshi is sometimes translated as "dead tree drop".

In this throw the leg of the opponent is grabbed with one arm while pushing him onto his back.
