Title: BATTODO - The Essence of Shinken-giri by Taizaburo Nakamura (1987)[Overview]Authored by the legendary Showa-era swordsman Taizaburo Nakamura, this book explores the true heart of Japanese swordsmanship. Nakamura Sensei argues that the origin of Kendo and Iaido lies in "Shinken-giri" (actual cutting with a real sword).He asserts that any martial art not rooted in the reality of the blade is hollow. This volume is not about "sport," but about the spiritual and physical unification achieved through the practice of Battodo.
