BookKyudo
Zen in the Art of Archery
Eugen Herrigel, 1948 (English trans. R. F. C. Hull, Pantheon, 1953)
Description
The short, influential, and contested account of a German philosophy professor's six years of Kyudo training under Master Awa Kenzō. The book popularised the Zen dimension of archery in the West and remains a reference point — as much for the critical questions it raises as for the spiritual ideal it describes.
