Book Overview:
"I do not know the value of my past life.
But I can say one thing, I live for karate, and I will die for karate!!"
—Promoting artisan karate, the author who has been released into the wild presents "The Tale of a Wanderer," a "Ten-Dan Brawler."

This is the first memorable book by Eiko Ashihara, the former head of the Ashihara Honbu Dojo.
His enthusiasm for the newly established Ashihara Honbu Dojo, which he founded independently, can be felt.

The first chapter describes the principles of Ashihara Karate.
Expressing concerns about the trend at that time where karate techniques were focused on competition, moving away from the essence of martial arts, and ringing the alarm bell to the karate world that "karate dojos are not institutions for creating champions."
In this chapter, he declares himself as a "karate artisan" for the first time.

From the second to the fourth chapters, episodes from his childhood, training period since the time of Oyama Dojo, episodes after moving to Shikoku, and stories of establishing the Ashihara Honbu Dojo are written.
This chapter not only includes his own stories but also generously incorporates episodes and photos of his top students at that time.

The fifth chapter describes the goals of Ashihara Karate, techniques, and mindset.
