SynopsisOne of this century's leading works on Zen, this book is a valuable source for those wishing to understand its concepts in the context of Japanese life and art. In simple, often poetic, language, Daisetz Suzuki describes what Zen is, how it evolved, and how its emphasis on primitive simplicity and self-effacement have helped to shape an aesthetics found throughout Japanese culture. He explores the surprising role of Zen in the philosophy of the samurai, and subtly portrays the relationship between Zen and swordsmanship, haiku , tea ceremonies, and the Japanese love of nature. Suzuki's contemplative discussion is enhanced by anecdotes, poetry, and illustrations showing silk screens, calligraphy, and examples of architecture.

D.T. SUZUKI
I heard Dr: Suzuki lecture in New York City. I studied Zen and Japanese Culture at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Francis Haar became a mentor in Honolulu and told me about meeting Dr. Suzuki in Japan. He photographed him. I have read many of his books. ZJCS is one of my favorite books. In 1992, I was in Japan and visited Dr. Suzuki's grave. There is a chapter in this book on Zen and Haiku. It's a great book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
