Rediscovering Budo will be widely welcomed by more serious budo practitioners, as well as interested observers, looking for a return to "first principles," who are interested in substance rather than style, and who wish--at least spiritually and emotionally--to understand and, where possible, relate to the mind-set of Japan's unique warrior culture. The author has the distinction of being the first European to hold a senior master's license in the formidable skill of iaijutsu--the art of "drawing sword" for combat. |
