Hans Joachim Stein is a Western practicioner of Kyudo - the Way of the Bow - living and working in Japan.
Here he provides a thorough introduction to the subject for the Westerner. He traces the origins of archery from the earliest times, concentrating particularly on its history in Japan.
Discussing the development of Japanese culture and its spiritual values, he chronicles the introduction of Taoism and Zen Buddhism into Japan and examines their influences on Japanese society, and especially on the Samurai, whose pragmatic use of Zen techniques formed the foundation of modern martial arts.
Whilst emphasising Kyudo as a means of developing one's spiritual nature, the book also gives precise practical instruction in the techniques involved, as well as information on equipment, making it suitable for beginners as well as those already practising the Way of the Bow., ISBN13: 9781852300357 ISBN10: 1852300353 Material Type: paperback
