Aprašymas

Here are the inspirational life and teachings of Awa Kenzo (1880–1939),the Zen and kyudo (archery) master who gained worldwide renown afterthe publication of Eugen Herrigel's cult classic Zen in the Art ofArchery in 1953. Kenzo lived and taught at a pivotal time in Japan'shistory, when martial arts were practiced primarily forself-cultivation, and his wise and penetrating instructions forpractice (and life)—including aphorisms, poetry, instructional lists,and calligraphy—are infused with the spirit of Zen. Kenzo uses themetaphor of the bow and arrow to challenge the practitioner to lookdeeply into his or her own true nature.
