An extremely detailed history of Shotokan Karate from its Okinawan origins in Shorin Ryu until the present. The pictures show with the dust jacket both on and off. It's an especially beautiful book beneath the jacket, filled with numerous high-quality photographs of Funakoshi and his students in action.
I inherited this book from my Sensei but need to part with it. He took excellent care of his books and this is like new.
