Description

Explore the profound intersection of Zen Buddhism, Confucian philosophy, and Japanese martial arts through this scholarly examination of the Tengu-geijutsu-ron by Chozan Shissai. The sword holds deep significance in Japanese culture, evolving from ritualistic bronze and stone implements to symbols of warrior class identity and spiritual discipline. This Routledge Library Edition investigates how swordsmanship transcended mere combat technique to become a philosophical practice rooted in Zen Buddhist principles. Discover how technical expertise and spiritual cultivation merged to transform the sword into one of Zen's most revered 'ways', bridging sacred tradition, artistic mastery, and contemplative philosophy. Essential reading for students of Buddhism, Japanese history, martial arts philosophy, and those seeking to understand the spiritual dimensions of warrior culture.
