Whet my appetite...

This is a beautiful book. The book is not comprehensive, but I don't believe it intends to be. I appreciate how the author visually and lyrically introduces vocabulary and ideas through his own experiences. I now want to know more. I will continue to refer back to this book as I search for more knowledge and as I pursue my arts (architecture, as well as art). I was enlightened, as well as astonished. I'd like to keep that feeling.

single greatest authority outside japan about Japanese art.

As a student of Lennox Tierney, I have had the honor of his scholarship for several years. He is one of the few people of non Japanese birth who has been able to bridge the gap to understanding the culture as a native would. He is fully trained in Japanese art and received advanced degrees in prestigious japanese art schools. Plus he is a creative writer and wonderful story teller. His understanding of Zen and the application is intuitive as well as scholarly.Read this book. But don't imitate and imulate it or you will miss the point.
