The cover features a vivid red background, dominated by the title \"BUSHIDO\" in yellow letters, accompanied by the subtitle \"Arts Martiaux d'Aujourd'hui\" (Martial Arts Today) on a blue strip. In the foreground, a practitioner is seen wearing full kendo equipment, in deep concentration, holding a traditional protective helmet (men) and wearing a dark blue keikogi with visible armor (bogu). A second kendo helmet is placed in front of them, reinforcing the martial iconography of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover highlights several article topics, printed in yellow on the left: \"Kendo: Yoshimura, how I fight...\", \"Aikido: Tadashi Abe is dead!\", \"Karate: American karate was born in Hawaii.\", \"Reflections: What is Budo?\", and \"Chinese Martial Arts: Foot or Fist?\". A yellow banner announces a gift, \"Tamura Sensei poster\". The inscriptions and layout are typical of specialized magazines from the 1980s to early 1990s, with an aesthetic recognizable from that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the bottom of the cover, a white label with references is visible: \"M - 1724 - 16 - 18 FF\", \"3.8 DC - 6 FS - 5 000 L\". No vintage year is visible on the presented face, but the graphic design, typography, and topics covered suggest a vintage edition, probably from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe magazine shows signs of moderate wear: slightly dog-eared corners, friction marks on the edges, and some visible surface creases, but the print remains clear and the colors well-preserved. No major missing parts or tears appear on the visible face. The photo only shows the front cover; the spine, back, and interior are not visible and will therefore not be described.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of magazine is of particular interest to enthusiasts of Japanese martial arts such as kendo and aikido, as well as those interested in the history of karate and reflections on budo. The presence of a Tamura Sensei poster, announced on the cover, highlights the pedagogical and iconic dimension of this issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
