Deep beneath the surface layers of the Japanese martial arts lies a
mystical core that is revealed to but a few. Why then would it open
to a young American, skilled in karate and Zen but only beginning
to master the language? Why would he be brought to Japan to be
woven into a brocade that even few Japanese know exists? He must
practice stringently and devote all his energies to his sensei's
quest for a forbidden art. In this quest he will discover and
master the veiled secrets of astonishing powers.
