Zen and Japanese Culture is a classic that has influenced
generations of readers and played a major role in shaping
conceptions of Zen's influence on Japanese traditional arts. In
simple and poetic language, Daisetz Suzuki describes Zen and its
historical evolution. He connects Zen to the philosophy of the
samurai, and subtly portrays the relationship between Zen and
swordsmanship, haiku, tea ceremonies, and the Japanese love of
nature. Suzuki uses anecdotes, poetry, and illustrations of silk
screens, calligraphy, and architecture. The book features an
introduction by Richard Jaffe that acquaints readers with Suzuki's
life and career and analyzes the book's reception in light of
contemporary criticism, especially by scholars of Japanese
Buddhism. Zen and Japanese Culture is a valuable source for those
wishing to understand Zen in the context of Japanese life and art,
and remains one of the leading works on the subject.
