In this book, Eugen Herrigel narrates his six years as a disciple of an archery master in Tokyo, explaining how he overcame his inhibitions to shoot the bow without intention, with a natural force. He discovered that the shot, the bow, the arrow, and the target are intertwined, transforming his vision of life. This work, translated into more than thirty languages, reveals the principles of Zen through the lessons of the art of archery.
Eugen Herrigel was a German philosopher, born in Lichtenau. He taught philosophy at Tohoku Imperial University in Sendai, Japan, from 1924 to 1929 and introduced Zen to large parts of Europe through his writings.
