This book, Keiko Shokon, continues where its elder brothers, Koryu Bujutsu and Sword & Spirit, left off. together, the three volumes of the 'Classical Warrior Traditions of Japan: Series offer an overview of the state of the classical traditions. As with the traditions themselves, the viewpoints exressed in the essays in these books are varied, even contradictory-that's intentional. The only way to convey the myriad flavors of the koryu is through a diversity of voices. And in this latest volume, we've brought you more.
Readers of the previous volumes will find few differences; most notably, there's the absence of the 'Ryu Guide.' Space and finances dictated that we omit it this time, but we hope, in the future, to create a separate volume of short, illustrated articles on the most commonly encountered classical ryu. It's a long-term project!
