A few months ago I picked up this English textbook, Budo Perspectives, from the Kendo World Magazine website. Japanese and non-Japanese budo scholars write about budo, and several essays are related to the internationalization of the budo arts, which is what I'm quite interested in.数か月間に剣道ワールド誌のホームページから英語武道教科書「Budo Perspectives」を買いました。日本人と外国人の学者が武道について書いています。そのうちのいくつかは僕がとても関心のある、武道の国際化についての論文です。
