With a samurai heart and pioneer spirit, he moved off the Japanese archipelago and onto the Asian continent where he lived a life of daring and intrigue. The story begins in 1932 in the newly created puppet state that Japan named Manchukuo. It follows Hisataka and his family through the turbulent guerrilla war, Japan's defeat, and culminating with the chaotic withdrawal of the Japanese back to their home country. With a tumultuous China as the setting, the author recalls various historical events that led to Japan's defeat and retreat. In the author's father, readers are introduced to a devoted martial artist with a broad vision and fearless approach to life. With repatriation completed, Hisataka opened Kenkokan Karate Dojo in Tokyo as a martial arts master. Behind this great man was his wise, strong-willed wife who especially shared her abundant affection with their children. This story is as much a family portrait as it is an historical account of Japan's foray into continental Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10331370\"\u003eHidemi Uebayashi\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11226429\"\u003eSachiko Hisataka\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Babel Press USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780989232685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0989232689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babel Press USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43827288408203,"sku":"9780989232685","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_25715118-3ff2-4c9a-b042-3ad12a5f59f5.jpg?v=1755528896","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/martial-arts-master-kori-hisataka-my-fathers-life-in-manchuria-9780989232685","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
