As someone who is trying to find out more about the proper way to cut with a Japanese sword, I found this book very informative and interesting. The presentation of the information is systematic and comprehensive. The topic covered moves from a short history to the mechanics of cutting and the introduction of some basic positions and care to preparation of cutting targets.

I've found this book facinating and filled with the Ancient Japanese Customs as well as the gift of grace and respect in the use of the sword only done with the best of experience and knowledge in the use and care of the sword. As well as those who master them. This is a wonderful book.

This is a fantastic and comprehensive book covering many issues of sword care that are not found in most books on the subject. There is also a wealth of pictures, diagrams, and historical information, including quite a bit of information about the underlying physics behind sword cutting. This book is a must for serious enthuiasts.
