Beschreibung

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.
