Kyudo - the Way of the Bow - is the oldest of the Japans traditional martial arts and the one most closely associated with Bushido, the way of the warrior.
In Kyudo: The Essence and Practice of Japanese Archery, Hideharu Onuma and his American co-authors, Dan and Jackie DeProspero, explain in detail both the spiritual and practical aspects of of Kyudo. Written with both novices and advanced students in mind, this book is presented in simple, straightforward language and features hundreds of detailed illustrations, supplemented by rare photographs of Master Onuma, clearly demonstrating the fundamental techniques and daily practice of this form of 'standing Zen'.
