The World of Shuriken Book by Shirakami Ikuken (Preowned)
Shurikenjutsu revived in modern times!
Shuriken - The first introductory book on everything about this small weapon, including its origins and history, the characteristics of each school, and basic stances!
"I have been interested in shuriken since I was a child and have embarked on this path. Now, I am one of the few people who continue this martial art, but I am keenly aware of the profound depth of ancient martial arts, not just shuriken. For this reason, now that the traditions of ancient martial arts are on the verge of disappearing, I believe it is meaningful to provide an overview of shuriken and record its techniques and spirit." - Shirakami Ikuken
