  • "The Way of the sword, the Way of the brush: one an encounter of harmony between brush and paper, the other a meeting of conflict between swords. For the calligrapher as for the warrior, reality is reduced to a single unique encounter of perfect clarity. This moment of perfect clarity that is the force behind all the traditional Japanese arts--from archery to flower arranging--is celebrated here in Dave Lowry's exploration of the common principles shared by calligraphy and the martial arts. Forty-two examples of Lowry's calligraphy, accompanied by his essays, show how the way of the brush reflects the strategic principles of the way of the sword. Each calligraphy represents a term from the martial arts. The accompanying text amplifies our understanding of the term, what it meant to Japanese warriors, and what it means to practitioners of those arts today.--From publisher description."
