Book Reviews of The Unfettered Mind: Writings of the Zen Master to the Sword Master (The Way of the Warrior Series)
Book Review: A Great Translation
Summary: 5 Stars
This book contains a collection of three letters/essays from Takuan Soho to masters of the sword arts. They contain some incredible gems. This book should not just be read; but reflected upon.As another reviwer said, "The ideas of the interval between striking flint and steel to the production of the spark, or the visual and mental image of the glint of light on the blade of a sword become captivating and even revelatory." I could not have said it any better myself. This is a must read book.
