In simple and poetic language Daisetz Suzuki describes Zen and its historical evolution. He connects Zen to the philosophy of the samurai and subtly portrays the relationship between Zen and swordsmanship haiku tea ceremonies and the Japanese love of nature. Suzuki uses anecdotes poetry and illustrations of silk screens calligraphy and architecture. The book features an introduction by Richard Jaffe that acquaints readers with Suzuki's life and career and analyzes the book's reception in light of contemporary criticism especially by scholars of Japanese Buddhism.
