5.0 out of 5 stars A view from Japan, 1 April 2001
By A Customer
Being Japanese it easy to find books on Kendo as there are many available in my home country. 'Looking at a far mountain' or 'Enzan no Metsuke'was the first book that I found in English on the subject of Kendo Kata back in 1992. I find it to be both historically informative and clear in the technical explanation.It also has an unusual format with the text following the photographic layout, i.e. Uchidachi and Shidachi and I must say that I greatly appreciate the endeavours of the author. I am positve that it has and will assist Kendo practitioners everywhere. Signed M Itoh
