Zen and the Way of the Sword: Arming the Samurai Psyche
King, Winston L. (Professor Emeritus, Professor Emeritus, Vanderbilt University)
This book examines the heart of the samurai ethos known as the `cult of the sword' and its relationship to Zen Buddhism. Surveying the origins of the warrior class, the ancient traditions of swords and swordmaking, Zen meditation techniques, and aspects of the Japanese martial arts, King reveals how this surprising alliance came about, and its implications for Japanese society.
