Book excerpt: Serving as an instructor at the elite Japanese Naval Academy in Etajima in the late 1800s, Francis James Norman was one of the first Westerners to take up the study of the two "noble sciences" of kenjutsu and jujutsu. With sections on kenjutsu, Japanese military history and education, sumo, and jujutsu, his book, originally published in 1905, provides a fascinating insight into the Japanese martial arts and society around the turn of the twentieth century. After publishing this book, however, he mysteriously disappears from sight. Apart from a brief mention in The Times of his participation in a jujutsu and kenjutsu demonstration in London, nothing was known of his fate until Dr. Alex Bennett uncovered the facts behind the remainder of his life after residing in Japan. This republication of F.J. Norman's book is meant to serve as a celebration of the man's intrepidness, and demonstrate how far ahead of his times he really was.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fighting Man of Japan: The Training and Exercises of the Samurai The author of the following brochure is an old soldier, who has been for many years resident in Japan. while acting in that country as an instructor in some of the leading colleges, both military and civilian, he has had what are, perhaps, unrivalled opportunities of making a thorough and systematic study of the two "noble sciences" of Lenjutsa and injutsu. The author is, so far as he is aware, the first Occidental who has gone at all deeply into these two branches of Japanese education. The benefit he has derived from their pursuit has led him to the conviction that much advantage might accrue to his native country from the introduction of exercises so admirably calculated to improve the physique and also the morale of its youth and manhood. The favourite games of young England are necessarily restricted in practice to the few, owing to the expensive nature of the requisite appliances, the time-expenditure involved, and the cost of preparing the ground. The majority can enjoy them only in the role of spectators. Lookers on, it is said, see most of the game; but neither morale nor physique are thereby greatly benefited, and looking on is apt to degenerate into a dull pastime unless relieved by betting. No such costly appliances are required in connection with these Japanese exercises, in which all can participate, without risk or danger to life, purse, or limb, but with great benefit both to body and spirit.

Book Synopsis Close-Up of the Jap Fighting Man by : Warren J. Clear
Download or read book Close-Up of the Jap Fighting Man written by Warren J. Clear and published by WWW.Militarybookshop.CompanyUK. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the immediate aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the American military was in desperate need of information on all aspects of Japan's armed forces. Lieutenant Colonel Warren J. Clear had served in Japan in the 1920s as a language officer, participated in an intelligence mission to Asia in 1941 and, finding himself in Manila at the outbreak of the war, was attached to General MacArthur's staff until evacuated by submarine in 1942. For the balance of the war, he taught classes on the Japanese Army at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Close-Up of the Jap Fighting Man, originally delivered by Clear in October 1942 as a lecture at Fort Leavenworth, is both a document reflecting tensions of the period in which it was composed and a little-known source of information on the Japanese military as perceived by an intelligent but unsympathetic observer. It includes an invaluable first-hand report on Clear's assignment to the Japanese Army's Second Division during his tour of duty in Japan, excerpts from other pre-war military reports, and first-hand testimony regarding Japanese operations in the Philippines. Both as a primary source on Japanese military thinking and practice and a reflection of the racial thinking so prevalent during this period, Close-Up of the Jap Fighting Man is in its own way a small classic.

Download or read book African Samurai written by Thomas Lockley and published by Harlequin. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of the first foreign-born samurai and his journey from Africa to Japan is “a readable, compassionate account of an extraordinary life” (The Washington Post). When Yasuke arrived in Japan in the late 1500s, he had already traveled much of the known world. Kidnapped as a child, he had ended up a servant and bodyguard to the head of the Jesuits in Asia, with whom he traversed India and China learning multiple languages as he went. His arrival in Kyoto, however, literally caused a riot. Most Japanese people had never seen an African man before, and many of them saw him as the embodiment of the black-skinned Buddha. Among those who were drawn to his presence was Lord Nobunaga, head of the most powerful clan in Japan, who made Yasuke a samurai in his court. Soon, he was learning the traditions of Japan’s martial arts and ascending the upper echelons of Japanese society. In the four hundred years since, Yasuke has been known in Japan largely as a legendary, perhaps mythical figure. Now African Samurai presents the never-before-told biography of this unique figure of the sixteenth century, one whose travels between countries and cultures offers a new perspective on race in world history and a vivid portrait of life in medieval Japan. “Fast-paced, action-packed writing. . . . A new and important biography and an incredibly moving study of medieval Japan and solid perspective on its unification. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal (starred review) “Eminently readable. . . . a worthwhile and entertaining work.” —Publishers Weekly “A unique story of a unique man, and yet someone with whom we can all identify.” —Jack Weatherford, New York Times–bestselling author of Genghis Khan
