Shinden Aiki Secret Book by Shiro Omiya (Hardcover) (Preowned)

A groundbreaking secret manual by Shinto expert Shiro Ōmiya unveils the profound mysteries of Daito Ryu, a martial art closely intertwined with Shinto. For the first time, this book reveals over a hundred elusive techniques that were traditionally passed down orally to select practitioners.

Comprehensive and diverse in its coverage, this manual holds immense value as a practical guide to Aiki-no-jutsu (the art of Aiki). Mastering these techniques alone is said to grant formidable power. Moreover, the book delves deeply into the ancient Shinto secrets essential for unlocking the full potential of these methods, including the mystical application of kotodama (sacred words) and the esoteric principles of Aiki.

The appendix includes three historical transmission scrolls of Daito Ryu: "Daito Ryu Jujutsu Hiden Mokuroku", "Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu Hiden", and "Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu Hiden Ougi". These scrolls, bestowed by Takeda Sokaku, the reviver of Daito Ryu, upon his senior disciples, document the techniques he taught. This makes the book an indispensable resource for anyone interested in Daito Ryu and the art of Aiki.
