Secret Weapons of Jujutsu (Tuttle Martial Arts)

This is the first book in English that deals with the full array of hand weapons used by the Japanese samurai and constabulary. Covering both improvised and traditional weapons, Cunningham discusses the weapons and demonstrates their use in a series of clear, easy-to-follow photographs. Also included are historical photographs, reproductions of paintings, and line drawings of these weapons and their bearers.
