1956 Tokyo, Seibundo-Shinkosha, Kyuzo Mifune

Canon of Judo
Principle and Technique

First Edition, First Printing.

This is the English First Edition, First Printing of this wonderful and rare book illustrating the technique of 10th Dan Master Kyuzo Mifune, referred to elsewhere as the 'bible' of judo.

This book is in Very Good condition showing some light edge/corner wear and soiling to the covers, slight tanning of the inside covers and slight foxing, see scans. The interior is unmarked by the previous owner - save for the lower corner of Page 87 being bent, a few other page tips are bent. The "price tag", in Japanese and English, is tipped in on the inside blank rear end page. Accompanying this book is the original publicity sheet. No dustjacket. Other scans are available and any questions you may have will be promptly answered.

I would encourage you to check the current Bookseller listings of First Edition/First Printings, compare condition [I could only find 3 others listed] and then make a reasonable offer.

Extremely scarce, and even then, more scarce in the First English Printing.

I appreciate any feedback or questions!
