This is a first book on Shuriken published in Japan.Only 2000 copies were published.Limietd edition.Don't miss out!

In the preface of this book,Kanji Naruse says,"It was more than 40 years ago that I was interested in Shuriken.It has been 17years since I try to research the documents on Shuriken.I have found that no books on Shuriken have been published.Collecting those fragmentary materials,I have published this book as a first book on Shuriken."

Anyway,for those who are interested in Shuriken,it would be a great collection.

This book is based on Negishi-ryu Shuriken jutsu.In the part of "The art of Shuriken",Kanji Naruse explains how to use Shuriken in detail and concretely.

Shuriken (手裏剣; lit: "hand hidden blade") is a traditional Japanese concealed weapon that was used for throwing, and sometimes stabbing. They are small, sharpened, hand-held blades made from a variety of everyday items, such as needles, nails, and knives, as well as coins, washers and other flat plates of metal. Shuriken were mainly a supplemental weapon to the more commonly used katana (sword) or yari (spear) in a warrior's arsenal, though they often played a pivotal tactical role in battle. The art of wielding the shuriken is known as shuriken-jutsu, and was mainly taught as a minor, or more correctly, a secret part of the martial arts curriculum of many famous schools, such as Yagyu Ryu, Katori Shinto Ryu, Itto Ryu, Kukishin Ryu and Togakure Ryu.

Hardcover 283 pages with B&W photos.

Very few books on Shuriken have been published even in JAPAN.

If you are interested in Shuriken,this would be one of the must-have
