This book explores the forgotten world of mounted samurai combat, revealing how Japanese warriors fought on horseback before firearms transformed warfare. Through historical accounts, modern reconstructions, and surviving traditions, it brings to life the skills, weapons, and tactics that made samurai cavalry formidable. Readers will uncover the deep connection between warrior and horse, the practical use of bows and spears from the saddle, and how these methods faded as warfare evolved. Meticulously researched and enriched by insights from martial artists and historians, the book examines armor crafted for horseback combat, analyzes pivotal battles where cavalry turned the tide, and traces the survival of these traditions in modern festivals and martial arts. Stripping away myths and cinematic exaggerations, it delivers an authentic portrayal of mounted samurai warfare-revealing its battlefield dominance and enduring legacy.
