The Shadow School Of Sword

Aisu Kage Ryu, The Aisu Shadow School of Sword, was founded by Aisu Hisatada (1452-1537.) It is considered to be one of Japan's Three Great Schools of Sword Fighting. Following its founding in the 1480's, the Shadow School of Sword began to spread all over the Kyushu Island and even the Wakou Japanese pirates that prowled the waters around the Korean Peninsula and the shores of China studied it. The Kenjutsu used by these Wakou Japanese pirates was apparently quite feared in China at the time.The purpose of this book is to present a translation of four 16th century scrolls from the Aisu Kage School in order to see the kind of documents passed down in this martial arts tradition.Scroll 1 Enpi Mokuroku: Leaping Monkey CatalogueA Mokuroku is a catalogue of techniques and by receiving it a student has been designated to have attained a certain level of proficiency. This scroll contains 11 techniques and begins with Enpi, Leaping Monkey. An earlier version of this scroll fell into the hands of the Chinese navy, who seized it from Wakou Japanese pirates that had been launching raids on the coastal areas. Apparently the fighting style of the pirates as well as the scroll made such an impression on the Chinese reproduced it in military strategy volumes for decades afterward.Scroll 2 Tengu no Maki: Tengu ScrollThis is a very exciting looking scroll. It does not have a title, however since it contains 12 techniques with a human figure paired with Tengu, Japanese Mountain goblins, I refer to it as The Tengu Scroll. The Tengu are not generalized, instead Tengu from all over Japan are included. The human figure holds a Tachi however the Tengu are armed with a variety of spears as well as two Kodachi, short swords.Scroll 3 Shiai no Tachi: The Dueling SwordThis scroll features humans holding a variety of weapons including Nagamaki, Tachi and Kodachi.

Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi written by Kenji Tokitsu and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2004 with Biography & Autobiography categories.

Undefeated swordsman, master of battlefield strategy, martial arts icon--Miyamoto Musashi, who lived in Japan in the 1600s, is the most famous samurai of all time. His masterwork, the Book of Five Rings (Gorin no sho) , is one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of confrontation and victory to emerge from Asian culture. Over the centuries, Musashi's reputation has grown to mythic proportions, but, in fact, much about Musashi and his life remains a mystery. Here, Kenji Tokitsu, a modern martial arts master and scholar, turns a critical eye on Musashi's life and writings, separating fact from fiction, and providing a view of the man and his ideas that is accessible and relevant to today's readers and martial arts students. Tokitsu provides a vivid and meticulously researched biography and a fresh translation of the Book of Five Rings , along with four other texts on strategy, all with extensive commentary. He is a thoughtful and informed guide, putting the historical and philosophical aspects of the text into context. He also covers: * The main periods in the history of Japanese swordsmanship * Musahi's childhood and his first duel * The founding of Musashi's School of Two Swords * Musashi's influence on contemporary practice * The evolution of budo, or martial arts practice for self-cultivation Musashi was also a respected artist, and this book contains color reproductions of his own calligraphies and paintings, with commentary by the well-known art historian Stephen Addiss.
