To the Japanese, the sword is a spiritual weapon, possessed of a kind of divinity, a self reflective of the soul of its maker, owner, and user. Around its mystical powers has grown a centuries-old ritual and a fascinating, intricate discipline. This unique guide unlocks the mysteries of this ancient ritual practice, explaining the history and significance of swords in the samurai culture, and documenting the the techniques of swordsmanship, as no other book in English does. Black and white line drawings and photographs enliven the narrative; a glossary of sword terminology closes the text.
This book is based upon the Japanese ritual of drawing the sword.

reviewed IAI: The Art of Drawing the Sword on June 24, 2013
IAI
A little esoteric for those not learning one of the sword arts. I read a version published in 1981, pretty early. It is a good manual and introduction. I only skimmed the description of the katas, which form about a third of the book, as this is not a style that I am familiar with; however, sections on the history of the sword, sword types, and history of the sword arts were well written and interesting. I would recommend this for people with some experience in martial arts.
