Most people hear Koppojutsu (骨法術) and picture bone-breaking: hard hands, harder targets, something you do to someone else’s skeleton. That picture is incomplete.

Part of seeing is understanding human and animal behaviour so you can find clues to where they are. Each piece of the puzzle is called “sign” and once you know what it can tell you, you will see it in fo
