Description

Nakamura Taisaburo’s landmark book at the art of the sword includes technical information, thoughtful analysis, and fascinating recollections of his own training and teaching. Probably the most famous Japanese swordsmen of the twentieth century, Nakamura sensei is widely acknowledged as the preeminent reinvigorator of the practice of tameshigiri (test cutting) as a test of technical and non secular mastery. The Spirit of the Sword–first published in Japanese in 1980, now translated into English for the first time–is regarded by many as probably the most complete of Nakamura’s writings on Japanese swordsmanship. Here Nakamura instructs the reader at the integration of iaido, kendo, and tameshigiri; the proper mental approach to sword practice; training methods; a large number of kata or forms; a guide to sword maintenance; and historical notes on using the sword as a weapon. Illustrated with over 800 original photographs, this book is a will have to-have for any student of the Japanese sword and a very good resource for sword enthusiasts typically.
