Product Description

Product Description

In a dialogue with the authors of this text, Kyudo master Hideharu Onuma explains the fundamentals of breathing, posture and discipline. He points the way to an inner calm, focusing on the here-and-now, and gaining a greater understanding of one's own mind and body, as well as the world around.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem of wisdom in writing, 14 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Illuminated Spirit: Conversations with a Kyudo Master (Hardcover)
Beyond the fact that I live and work in Japan, this book is useful not only for those of us seeking wisdom from the traditional arts of Asia but anywhere. Dan Deprospero has done a superb job synthesizing all of the accumulated teaching of his teacher - almost one decade - within 143 pages. As mentioned in the introduction, some of it will seem obvious and repetitive but one needs to read this book several times to grasp lessons which can be applied to daily living. Indeed, each chapter is like a gem.

Spells out the philosophical side to martial arts and is a book that can help you lead a richer life. It is well written and easy to read. Beautiful.

I have purchased this book more than once and given to those close to me in order to share the valuable thinking material within its pages. An easy to read, well written and excellent book. Can't do it justice!
