Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase any books on Shosho ryu in Japanese? I can't seem to locate any books online.

thank you,

Robert

Mr. Gruzanski,

A quick search didn't bring up much dealing with Shoshō Ryū specifically, but I know there's an excellent entry on the tradition in Yokose's book, Nihon no Kobudō, which provides a great survey of a variety of koryū.

You can find the book here:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E3%81%AE%E5%8F%A4%E6%AD%A6%E9%81%93-%E6%A8%AA%E7%80%AC-%E7%9F%A5%E4%B9%8B/dp/4583035861/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321370620&sr=8-1

Check around though (i.e., Kinokuniya, BudoVideos, or check with Russ Ebert, as he runs a great online shop - and is a really, really nice guy to boot), as this might not be the best price available (I was lucky enough to get mine in Japan a few years ago, so avoided the hassle of shipping & handling - maybe see if anyone you know is traveling over soon?)

Hope this helps!
