This Japanese-language book explores Shibukawa-ryu Jujutsu (渋川流柔術), a classical Japanese martial tradition with roots in the Edo period. Through historical discussion and extensive photographic demonstrations, the book documents techniques and training methods associated with this traditional school of jujutsu.
The material illustrates a variety of classical methods, including throws, joint controls, restraints, pins, grappling techniques, and responses to different forms of attack. The photographs also provide a valuable visual record of traditional demonstrations and training, showing practitioners in both keikogi and hakama.
Author Jun Osano (小佐野淳) is a Japanese martial arts researcher and writer known for his work documenting koryu bujutsu and traditional Japanese martial arts. His publications are particularly valuable for preserving information about lesser-known schools and their technical traditions.
A useful reference for collectors and practitioners interested in classical jujutsu, koryu, Japanese martial arts history, aikijujutsu, and traditional grappling systems.
