Terauchi Masatake [Imperial Japanese Army]
Physical Exercise Training Manual (Japanese Army Gymnastics)
Wraps, 4.25 x 3 inches. Approx. 178 pages + 10 folding plates/diagrams at rear. Very Good with light general rubbing and wear. A superbly graphic guide to fitness exercises, primarily gymnastics, for military and police. The manual also outlines (and illustrates) real-world applications for the demonstrated skills, such as forming human pyramids to get up trees, jump over obstacles, and cultivate mental hygiene secondary to physical exercise.
