A classic work on Eastern philosophy, iZen in the Art of Archery iis a charming and deeply illuminating story of one man's experience with Zen. Eugen Herrigel, a German professor of Philosophy in Tokyo, took up the study of archery as a step toward an understanding of Zen Buddhism. This book is the account of the six years he spent as a student of one of Japan's great kyudo archery masters, and of how he gradually overcame his initial inhibitions and began to feel his way toward new truths and ways of seeing.
