What this book is NOT: A book of secrets that will turn you into a master of the Japanese quarterstaff; a book that will give you incredible insights into the history and application of the Japanese quarterstaff. What this book IS: A legacy of one man's interpretation of the Japanese quarterstaff, originally published in 1975, making it one of the earliest books on the subject. This reprint includes the entire original book with English translation alongside the Japanese, as well as some bonus materials. We originally planned on only reprinting for internal use, but decided to make it available to the general public at large, as texts on the classical weapons arts are few and far between. We hope you enjoy this booklet for what it is, a brief glimpse into the practices of Bojutsu as practiced at the author's Dojo in Japan.
