The new size of the book will provide readers with a new encounter with the works, regardless of whether they have read them before or not.

All colored manuscripts are reproduced in color for a complete edition! A Japanese boy leaves his hometown in Japan and comes to the U. By himself to open a judo and karate dojo in a corner of New York City.
