Synopsis
Japan has often been called the “land of the Three Treasures”, the treasures being the mirror (a special Shinto mirror into which one looks and reflects on one’s inner essence), the tama jewel (a symbol of Japanese love and respect for nature), and the sword. “There is no other country in the world where the sword has received so much honour and renown as in Japan,” said Thomas McClatchie, a nineteenth-century historian. Discover the colourful history of Japanese sword-making, the ryu of Japan, the samurai code of honour and the Zen tradition of swordsmanship. Parulski covers a Samurai’s uniform, how it's worn, fighting postures, conditioning, training with the suburito and traditional etiquette. Supporting photographs, contemporary illustrations and text reveal the kihon - prearranged attacks and defences - and the kata of drawing one and two swords, all of which present a unique insight into one of the most important aspects of Japanese history. About the Author George R Parulski, Jr. is an acclaimed martial arts expert and teacher based in North America.
