Product Information

This guide to the spiritual and technical practice of this graceful martial art, by 15th-generation master Hideharu Onuma, includes illustrations and rare photographs. Kyudo-the Way of the Bow-is the oldest of Japan's traditional martial arts and the one most closely associated with bushido, the Way of the Warrior. After the Second World War Eugen Herrigel introduced the concept of kyudo to the West in his classic Zen in the Art of Japanese Archery.

Good packaging, arrived quickly. The only slight issue is that the image used implied the book was signed, but the listing itself never claimed it was signed. I wouldn't say it's completely deceptive, but it is pushing it a little. The price was great either way, so it's inconsequential for this specific listing.

  • comprehensive

    I purchased this book after reading the background of the Deprospero's and their studies in Japan with Master Onuma himself. The book is comprehensive and instructional. Detailed and productive. Good reference when practicing. The information contained is everything up to and just shy of having an instructor present. Well worth the puchase if you want to start learning Japanese traditional archery the right way.
