Kenzo lived and taught at a pivotal time in Japan's history, when martial arts were practiced primarily for self-cultivation, and his wise and penetrating instructions for practice (and life)--including aphorisms, poetry, instructional lists, and calligraphy--are infused with the spirit of Zen. Kenzo uses the metaphor of the bow and arrow to challenge the practitioner to look deeply into his or her own true nature.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An interesting and enlightening study by John Stevens."--<i>The Japan Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Stevens is Professor of Buddhist Studies and Aikido instructor at Tohoku Fukushi University in Sendai, Japan.
