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, \u003ci\u003ehaiku\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Zen and Japanese Culture | Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki | Paperback | 0691017700 | Used: Good | Back Stacks G 1746515","offer_id":48841185263768,"sku":"1746515","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81Y2_RwAx0L.jpg?v=1775228541","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/zen-and-japanese-culture","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
