Hi Milo,

thanks, much appreciated. The picture quality is much better than the versions
we have at EJMAS, which were scanned from photocopies.

and the images might wobble a bit unless the splitting was done well (I can't
think of a way other than by hand). Uyenishi's text is already scanned and
available in the files here so that might be a good starting point as it would
cut out the scanning part.

I'd forgotten that we had the "Textbook of Jujutsu" in the Files!

I'll have a go at re-animating one of the sequences as a hobby project.

Cheers,

Tony
