Customer comments on this selection. A small gem ... Nutshell review - This is a short book containing some of the background and teachings of Awa Kenzo, the archery master from the book Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel. It is a very nice book with some interesting content and beautiful stories. But sadly, too short ... great book, but short interesting and informative, but a little short for the money. If you read "zen in the art of archery" by eugene herrigel and didn't hear enough about awa kenzo, this book will give you what you want: it presents a limited biography and then gives some of his ( most important?) sayings and a few pictures of him with his bow. It got 4 out of 5 stars because it cost 12.95 list price plus shipping and is 101 pages long. Still a great read if you are interested in zen archery. Zen Bow, Zen Arrow a small book but diamonds are small-as is the brief instant of satori. a wonderful history of the great Zen archer Awa Kenzo with a treasure of gems of wisdom from his teachings: statements, aphorisms, koans and haiku. whether you are seeking thru t'ai chi, target shooting or archery, the wisdom here will guide you in your practice. A pearl of wisdom Don't miss this book if you are interested in "Zen in the Art of Archery" and "The Method of Zen" by Eugen Herrigel. The teaching of Awa is a pearl of wisdom. Bullseye John Stevens produces another one of his find vignettes of prominent Japanese martial artists. The field of Kyudo is not well known in the U.S. and anything that can be done to remedy that should be. I believe this book is best read alongside Herrigel's "Zen and the Art of Archery."
