This new, expanded edition brings readers inside the dojos of the ancient schools of Japanese martial arts, analysing the evolution of Japanese weaponry, addressing the myth and reality of Japan's naginata-wielding warrior women, and discussing the modern relevance of the blood oaths, magical ritual and mysticism that often permeate the koryu.
