- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Oxford Univ Pr on Demand
- Publish date: 06/01/1993
Description:
Zen--serene, contemplative, a discipline of meditation associated with painting, rock gardens, and flower arranging--seems an odd ingredient in the martial psyche of the Japanese samurai. But the author reveals the role of Zen in the thought, culture, and the martial arts of Japan's soldier elite. King shows how the samurai cultivated Zen and found strength in it as they prepared themselves for combat and possible death. 16 line drawings.
