Containing numerous photographs of Hatsumi Sensei demonstrating these techniques in the Hombu Dōjō in Japan and transcripts of interviews with him, this book also provides a historical record of the Amatsu Tatara Hisshin Ginroku, which was written by Takamatsu Toshitsugu Sensei, now for the first time translated* and published. It includes the spiritual aspects of the documents and an encyclopaedic list of pathologies and historical natural treatments. *(these documents fully translated into English and also shown in Japanese).
