This book is out of print.
A study of Toyama-Ryu Batto Jutsu. The author lists his background/training and then explains the history of the Japanese sword (Katana), Japanese sword martial arts, and profiles sword smiths Yasuhiro & To-Sho Kobayashi.

Wearing and properly gripping the sword are covered before the author shows a series of chapters dealing with the basic techniques of his style. A chapter on Tameshigiri is also covered.
A very informative and detailed book on one of the Japanese sword martial arts.
