Dave Lowry juxtaposes his singular experience as an adept student
of "kenjutsu" (the art of swordsmanship) under a Japanese teacher
in St. Louis with a riveting account of the samurai tradition in
Japan. Intertwining tales of the masters with reflections on his
own apprenticeship in the samurai's arts, he reveals in their
time-honored methods a way of life with profound relevance to
modern times. The result is a fascinating, singular autobiography.
Lowry captures the sense of wonder and mystery that makes martial
arts compelling to so many practitioners. Even those who do not
practice martial arts will delight in this unusual coming-of-age
story.
