This is a book of very great charm, a classic in its field. It shows the close connection which exists between the art of archery and Zen. By archery, in the traditional sense, which he esteems as an art and honours as a national heritage, the Japanese does not understand a sport but, strange as this may sound at first, a religious ritual. And consequently, by the art of archery he does not mean the ability of the sportsman, which can be con-trolled, more or less, by bodily exercises, but an ability whose origin is to be sought in spiritual exercises and whose aim consists in hitting a spiritual goal, so that fundamentally the marksman aims at, and may even succeed in hitting, himself.
