AbstractOne 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.
