Zen in the Art of Archery
ByPublisher Description
A classic work on Eastern philosophy, Zen in the Art of Archery is a charming and deeply illuminating story of one man’s experience with Zen. Eugen Herrigel, a German professor of Philosophy in Tokyo, took up the study of archery as a step toward an understanding of Zen Buddhism. This book is the account of the six years he spent as a student of one of Japan’s great kyudo (archery) masters, and of how he gradually overcame his initial inhibitions and began to feel his way toward new truths and ways of seeing.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Eugen Herrigel was a German philosopher who introduced Zen to large parts of Europe. He used archery in an attempt to further understand Zen. In 1936 he published a 20-page article entitled Die Ritterliche Kunst des Bogenschiessens (The Knightly Art of Archery) in the journal, Zeitshrift für Japanologie, which later formed the core of his most famous work Zen in the Art of Archery.
