Intriguing encounters between Zen practitioners and samurai
warriors are recaptured in this breviloquent collection of short
stories drawn from the literature of feudal Japan. These encounters
deal with the nature of immediacy and its role in understanding the
essence of human existence. For the martial artist faced with a
conflict, the Zen state of mind, without distractions and
illusions, can determine the difference between life and death. The
warrior experience, as revealed in these traditional stories, is
retold in a style that is relevant and graspable to the
contemporary American martial artist. No particular religious
background is required to appreciate these stories, but rather a
curiosity about what allows people to achieve extraordinary
performance when faced with life and death circumstances. Zen ink
paintings by John Hrabushi offer a meditative and intellectual
"cross training" throughout the collection. Foreword by noted
Aikido Shihan Lorraine DiAnne.
