    Yeah, when I saw that little roll of paper at the bottom of the box, for one second I thought that they had included a complimentary densho for customers who put in early orders. Sigh.

    My opinion is, in all likelihood, worth exactly what you are paying for it.

    Every one of the dust jackets is painstakingly rolled by hand, by me (admittedly while sitting in front of the TV watching Dancing with the Stars). Not a densho, but a direct transmission--of some sort or another.

    Cheers!

    No, that comes in a seperate package.

    Now I feel incredibly special. Now that I've touched your personally hand-rolled dustjacket, I may well never wash my hands again.

    Of course. There was a bit of confusion, though. See, when the instructions said "sign in blood," I didn't know they meant my own. Now you should hear my roommate whine.

    Same, I was thinking "Yahoo! A complimentary Koryu.com Hiden Mokuroku!"

    No such luck

    I have been reading the book since it arrived at my doorstep and I have to say, it is a great work. The new texts make the reading flow much better.

    It was also nice to see the kamae done both in kacchu and suhada style. I found the short texts on kacchu and weaponry particularly fascinating. It's a wonderful reworking of a great text. Since I'm mainly a jujutsu boyo, I would have liked to have seen a little more poop on their yawara, but that's just me.

    Excellent work as always Koryu Books.

    Yes, I have to congratulate Koryu books, another excellent publication to add to my bookshelf. I had a quick look/read last night and naturally my interest gravitated straight to the ninjutsu section first.

    I'm looking forward to spending more time with it over the w/e.

    Yes, it was an outline of what is contained therein, with a tantalizing morsel to tantilize the tastebuds - like passing by the kitchen when the garlic's on the pan, you know something is cooking and you can't help but salivate.

    I just received mine yesterday. Otake Sensei, Koryu Books and all involved really have produced an excellent volume. I'm thinking that nicely hand-rolled dust-jacket would look good in a frame.
    Respects,

    Default ninjutsu-section????!!!

    Hi All!
    Yes, I have to congratulate Koryu books, another excellent publication to add to my bookshelf. I had a quick look/read last night and naturally my interest gravitated straight to the ninjutsu section first.
    I had the french version of "Deity and the sword", exactly like the japanese/english Version but naturally en francais. Is there a ninja-section in the new book? Some details please!

    Sven,

    There is a two page chapter on KSR's approach to ninjutsu.
