Description

This magazine shown in the photo is an original copy of "Bushido, Arts Martiaux d’Aujourd’hui" (Bushido, Martial Arts of Today), issue number 30. The cover features a dynamic visual with two karate practitioners in white kimonos, one performing a high kick, the other in a defensive stance. At the top, the title "BUSHIDO" appears in bright yellow on a red background, accompanied by the mention "Arts Martiaux d’Aujourd’hui" and the number 30.

Yellow and white inscriptions highlight the main topics covered: "S. Serfati European Champion", "Sumo Story", "Ninjutsu", "Shaolin in Provence", and "Le Kyudo". A photo insert at the bottom right shows a Kyudo master in traditional Japanese attire, emphasizing the diversity of disciplines covered in this issue.

The magazine features dominant bright blue and red colors, with contrasting yellow and white lettering to attract the eye. The layout, typical of martial arts publications from the 80s-90s, highlights the spectacular aspect of combat sports and the plurality of disciplines covered.

The spine shows signs of wear, typical of a circulated copy, with visible creases on the cover, including a central vertical mark and some corner creases. The colors remain vibrant and the print legible, despite the signs of use. No major damage is visible on the presented side.

At the bottom left is a reference: "M - 1724 - 30 - 19 F", likely related to the original cataloging or selling price.
