About the author

Don Cunningham has devoted over thirty years of his life to the study and practice of both contemporary and ancient martial arts, holding advanced ranks in judo, jujutsu, and kendo, and contributing regularly to a variety of martial arts publications. While studying the ancient art of kendo (fencing with bamboo swords) on one of his frequent visits to Japan, Cunningham became interested in samurai swords and the samurai culture. This passion led him to research the Edo period, and he soon learned a great deal about the weaponry and the culture of feudal Japan.
