Entitled "Goju Kensha Karatedo Kyohon," and serial numbered #A11610, this is a collection of 13 individual magazine-like journals inside a cardboard box folder. The cardboard box folder, in which of the journals come, is illustrated with figures from Ohtsuka Sensei's Bubishi. The individual covers of each journal are also illustrated with the images of Ohtsuka Sensei's Bubishi, specifically the 48 postures. With 8" x 10" dimensions, the 13 journals are approximately 35-40pp, with B&W photos on glossy white paper [very nicely done] in Japanese. In spite of the cardboard box cover having seen better days [it's actually not that bad] the journals are in excellent condition.
