More DescriptionA rare treatise of Ame-no-Ukihashi, an esoteric martial form held sacred by practitioners of the Art of Ninzuwu. Developed and named after its founder, Ame-no-Ukihashi-hime-no-Mikoto, during the Heian period, it is the only martial art based on the supernatural abilities of the Yuki Onna. This book discusses the history and philosophy of Ame-no-Ukihashi in great detail. The sacred dance of Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, martial poses hidden in the hiragana script, which form a series of katas used in the development of clairvoyant abilities and self-transformation, is described and its corresponding force of influence. The fundamental principles of Ame-no-Ukihashi are clearly illustrated by more than 40 photos. Shinto priest in the Art of Ninzuwu lineage, author Messiah'el Bey (Warlock Asylum), provides a unique look into a knowledge that was once thought to be extinct.
