Title:

WHAT IS KARATE? Everyone Can Practice Karate Mysteries

Description:

Published by: Tokyo-News Co., Japan, 1958
Binding: Hardcover
Notes: After repeated inquires for "a good Karate book" from foreigners visiting the author in Japan and the requests he received traveling through North America, Masutatsu Oyama wrote ' What is Karate? ' because he could not recommend any book that would help his foreign friends understand the real Karate. This book soon became the foundation of the Karate movement in North America. This first edition is profusely illustrated with B/W photographs and 4 full-page color photographs. White textured paper over boards, red cloth spine and gilt lettering make this a very attractive book. Boards are bumped on corners, rubbed on edges and have a stain on front cover, cloth on spine is lightly rubbed near the head and foot, and spine is slightly cocked and shaken. Text pages are nice and clean. A very rare FIRST EDITION of this very early and important book. ; 4to; 98 pages VG-/NONE
