In feudal Japan the Martial Art of Hojojutsu was taught for the capture and immobilization of prisoners by using a rope. 
Developed by the armed forces during the period of the "Warring States" (XV sec.); It was
 subsequently adopted by the city police in the Edo Period (1603-1868) as an aid during the
arrest; transportation and detention of a suspect.
Rich in illustrations and photographs; this text describes for the first time in the West; the history; philosophy; instruments and practice of the Art of the Rope.235 pages; over 250 illustrations and photographs; the text includes the translated reproduction of a genuine and very rare densho: a secret teaching manual of one of the most renowned Schools of Hojojutsu created in 1797.
