Description

Here, the author takes the reader on a tour of the Samurai code of Bushido. He talks of his encounters with the descendants of famous Samurais of the past. The book goes back to ancient Japan to meet the most influential Samurai through the memories of their descendants, as told to the author by members of those very Samurai families. It also explores the many rituals of the sword and describes how they were made, cared for and tested. Included are clear instructions on the use of the sword with over 20 traditional sword drawing and sparring routines.
