Sword of No Sword: Life of Yamaoka Tesshu Book by John Stevens  


Yamaoka Tesshu - master of kendo, zen, and calligraphy - was an outstanding figure in the turbulent era that marked the birth of modern Japan. Unlike Musashi, whose real story is difficult to ascertain, much more reliable information is available on Tesshu, who exemplifies the same spirit of warriorship. This in the only work in English available on this famous figure of the budo world. Many more recent budo masters list Tesshu as one of their inspirations, such as Katsuyuki Kondo, Koichi Tohei, Mas Oyama, and many more.

Contents include:

1 - Tesshu's Life & Times
2 - Sword of No Sword
3 - Great Enlightenment
4 - Ascending Dragon
5 - Three Shu
