Does anyone have some info concerning this book? The only info I have comes from an article in monumenta Nipponica wich includes two pictures taken from it and describes it as being made in the 1800's and being one of the first eclectic book on swordmanship.

Max,

I figured out my posting problem. I'm copying my earlier PM here, in case someone else can help you out. No idea where you might get a copy.

Kenjutsu hiden hitori shugyō (Fencing Secrets for Solo Practice), by Sen'en (pseudonym), 1 volume in two sections, dated 1801. Manuscript copy held by the Butokukai. Not widely printed.
