Very sad news that Kodansha International is to close. Kodansha have published many wonderful books on the martial arts in the English language.

I'll think of a proper sig when I get a minute...

That is unfortunate. I have many of their English-language titles, including books on Japanese gardening and architecture, which have enhanced both my appreciation for and knowledge of Japanese culture and aesthetics. Their books have even helped me in my gardening profession.
It's a shame that we will no longer have access to new books from them, but apparently the global economic situation has made that division unprofitable.
