Karate:the art of "empty hand fighting"
by Hidetaka Nishiyama & Richard C. Brown

Published by: Charles E. Tuttle Co. Inc.
Copyright in Japan 1959 by Charles E. Tuttle Co. Inc.

LIbrary of Congress Catalogue Card No. 59-10409

------

My printing is 1966 twenty fifth printing 251pgs

The photos and explainations are exceptional in this book. almost every page had multiple high res b/w photography of Teruyuki Okazaki & Hirokazu kanazawa(back when it was an art) explaining every move, and all aspects of Karate, it was created to be the first total intro to Japanese Karate in English, . A great historic book for any one who likes to compare old and current technics, and is a fan of finely crafted hard covers, this one is manufactured in Japan and seems to be covered in burlap, so I figure it is hemp. great binding, for a thirty nine yr old book my copy is in fantastic shape.
