For over a 1000 years the sword has played a crucial role in Japanese society. Even today it remains a ubiquitous and venerated object, whether cherished as a work of art, admired as a feat of technology, or wielded in one of the many schools of fencing that have survived Japan's feudal era. This book not only explains the techniques of that era's most prominent sword school, Shinkage-ryu, it also gives the reader an insight into the history and martial ethics that underpin the modern day practice of Japanese swordsmanship, an art known in Japan as Iaido.
