Terror of Towashi
Creature — Phyrexian Ogre

Whenever Terror of Towashi attacks, you may pay . When you do, return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It's a Phyrexian in addition to its other types.

I can definitely see where you're coming from with the boardwipe into recursion game plan. Ideally, around what turn would you want to start recurring things?
Terror of Towashi is kinda mana-intensive for what you're likely getting out of it. A total of 4 mana to cast, wait a turn with out Haste, then pay 8 mana to recur 2 creatures to field, with its effect doubled by Isshin.
If you go the recursion route, I'd recommend more mana efficient options like Reanimate, Animate Dead, Dance of the Dead, & Necromancy, but all are relatively expensive. There are other options like Enduring Scalelord & Sun Titan, but recursion can be varying kinda slow, depending on the options used.
I highly recommend the token swarming route with Isshin. That's the variant I've been playing for about a year now. I play it in a fairly aggro-leaning meta to some decent success. I think creature token production paired with ETB Damage like Impact Tremors & other group slug effects like Hellrider can deal some gnarly damage.
In my time playing Isshin, I've found more success with board protection effects like Flawless Maneuver & Unbreakable Formation. It saves you some steps involved with various recursion effects, & keeps your board as intact as possible to keep swinging without letting up that momentum.
