Rediscovering Budo. A Swordsman's Perspective

Global Oriental Ltd Folkestone. 2004 xiii + 275pp, notes, glossary, bibliography, index, dustjacket. In an environment where "budo" has lost its "spirit" in the process of shifting so much towards sport, this book reappraises and reaffirms the profound and intrinsic importance of "budo's" underlying warrior culture and its real legacy. Technical knowledge rests entirely in the dojo; this book is intended to show those interested something of the roots that underpin the true Bujutsu and Budo, and to throw some light on the other complex influences from the past that have enriched so many of the surviving traditions. A number of these roots are purely warrior-based in nature, others are intellectual or even esoteric.
