Title The world of Shuriken
Author Ikuken Shiragami
Publication year 2001

This is a reprinted edition.Original edition was published in 1978.Only 250 copies were reprinted.

In the postscript to this book,Ikuken Shiragami says,"The outline of this book owes to instructions from Kanji Naruse sensei and especially regarding historical parts of this book,it owes a great deal to "Shuriken" from Seiko Fujita sensei,who is the Soke of Shingetsu-ryu Shuriken jutsu"

This book deals with "The world of Shuriken,The essence of Shuriken jutsu,The history of Shuriken jutsu and its schools,The basic form f Shuriken jutsu,The relationship between Shuriken and women,50 years history of Shuriken" and so on.

Anyway,for those who are interested in Shuriken,it would be a great collection.

Shuriken (手裏剣; lit: "hand hidden blade") is a traditional Japanese concealed weapon that was used for throwing, and sometimes stabbing. They are small, sharpened, hand-held blades made from a variety of everyday items, such as needles, nails, and knives, as well as coins, washers and other flat plates of metal. Shuriken were mainly a supplemental weapon to the more commonly used katana (sword) or yari (spear) in a warrior's arsenal, though they often played a pivotal tactical role in battle. The art of wielding the shuriken is known as shuriken-jutsu, and was mainly taught as a minor, or more correctly, a secret part of the martial arts curriculum of many famous schools, such as Yagyu Ryu, Katori Shinto Ryu, Itto Ryu, Kukishin Ryu and Togakure Ryu.

Hardcover 253 pages with B&W photos.

Very few books on Shuriken have been published even in JAPAN. If you are interested in Shuriken,this would be one of the must-have books.
