"Stevens retells the inspirational life and teachings of Awa Kenzo (1880-1939), the Zen and kyudo (archery) master who gained worldwide renown after the publication of Eugen Herrigel's cult classic Zen in the Art of Archery in 1953. Kenzo's wise and penetrating instructions for practice - and life - include aphorisms, poetry, instructional lists, and calligraphy, all infused with the spirit of Zen. Kenzo uses the metaphor of the bow and arrow to challenge practitioners to look deeply into their own true nature. 128 pp. "
