Legacies of the Sword: The KashimaShinryu and Samurai Martial Culture,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Western scholars and educators are generally far less familiar with the samurai in his originaland, ostensibly, primaryrole as warrior and masters of arms than in his other functions as landowner, feudal lord, literature, or philosopher. Yet, any attempt to comprehend fully the samurai without considering his military abilities and training (bugei) is futile. With verve and wit, Karl Friday combines the results of nearly two decades of fieldwork and archival research to examine samurai martial culture from a broad perspective: as a historical phenomenon, as a worldview, and as a system of physical, spiritual, and moral education.
