PAPERBACK

The Lost Samurai School collects and translates ancient documents that contain the teachings of Hagiwara Juzo, revealing for the first time to western readers the enthralling martial arts, secret weapons, magic, and espionage as they were practiced by samurai in their daily lives. Cummins contextualizes the many expertly translated documents with a history of the era, the school, and its grandmaster. The illustrations bring to life the skills required to master everything from jujutsu, to shuriken jutsu (throwing blades), to swords, to chain weapons, to quarterstaffs.
