“This memorial edition of Flashing Steel is the premier guide to Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū. It is dedicated to Hanshi Masayuki Hidenobu Shimabukuro’s drive to continued learning and improvement. He sought to add to his skills, testing himself, and to then pass the knowledge on. The information he possessed and the drive he sought to instill in us changed us as we learned and practiced.”
—John Mills, founder of Mills Seito Family Dojo and instructor of karate-do, Okinawa kobujutsu, iaijutsu, and jojutsu
“It is here for the interested martial artist, for the iaido practitioner/enthusiast: Flashing Steel, 25th Anniversary Edition! With vast expertise and high skill, the beautiful art of Eishin-ryū swordsmanship is presented in detail by the late Masayuki Shimabukuro and Mr. Leonard Pellman. This comprehensive volume speaks for itself with its quality, thoroughness, and in-depth photographs and detailed techniques. I encourage all iaido practitioners, expert and novice alike, to obtain this awesome text for solid reference and their personal library.”
