The foreword emphasizes that mastering an art requires transcending technique until it becomes an “artless art” growing from the Unconscious, where archer and target become one reality.

the Qrtof Qrtherp  \n# EUGEN HERRIGEL\n\nWith a Foreword by  \nD.T.SUzU KI  \nThis short book inits first form was a lecturedelivered to the German Japanese Societyin Berlin in 1936,and it appeared in theMagazine Nippon under the title of TheChivalrous Art of Archery.That was a pro-visional attempt to show the close connec-tion which exists between the art of archeryand Zen.It is now a new book of very greatcharm,and may well become an establisheddocument in its field for many years.By archery,in the traditional sense,whichhe esteems as an art and honours as anational heritage,the Japanese does not un-derstand a sport but,strange as this maysound at first,a religious ritual.And conse-quently,by the ‘art'of archery he does notmean the ability of the sportsman,whichcan be controlled,more or less,by bodilyexercises,but an ability whose origin is tobe sought in spiritual exercises and whoseaim consists in hitting a spiritual goal,sothat fundamentally the marksman aims atand may even succeed in hitting,himself\"This is the only bookwritten by a westerner,and indeed the only book in a western lan-guage that describes the difficult path oflearning Zen.A simple,vivid account ofpersonal experience,it may well serve tomitigate the “unspeakable queerness”ofZen to the average westerner-to make thekicks and shouts of the Zen patriarchs seemless like the behaviour of lunatics.Studentsof Japanese culture,too,will find that itsheds much light on the way in which artand religion have been traditionally blend-ed.'—New Statesman.  \n'A short,humble and highly

\nLONDONROUTLEDGE AND KEGAN PAUL  \nFirst Published in I93by Routledge &Kegan Paul LtdBroadway House,68-74 Carter LaneLondon E.C.4  \nTranslated from the German byR.F.C.HullPrinted in Great Britain by

they are studied inJapan and probably also in other Far Eastern coun-tries,is that they are not intended for utilitarianpurposes only or for purely aesthetic enjdyments,but are meant to train the mind;indeed,to bringit into contact with the ultimate reality.Archeryis,therefore,not practised solely for hitting thetarget;the swordsman does not wield the swordjust for the sake of outdoing his opponent;thedancer does not dance just to perform certainrhythmical movements of the body.The mind hasfirst to be attuned to the Unconscious.  \nIf one really wishes to be master of an art,techni-cal knowledge of it is not enough.One has totranscend technique so that the art becomes an'artless art'growing out of the Unconscious.  \n# Foreword\n\nIn the case of archery,the hitter and the hit areno longer two opposing objects,but are onereality.The archer ceases to be conscious of him-self as the one who is engaged in hiting the bull's-eye which confronts him.This state ofunconscious-ness is realized only when,completely empty andrid of the self,he becomes one with the perfectingof his technical skill,though there is in it some-thing of a quite different order which cannot beattained by any progressive study of the art.  \nWhat differentiates Zen most characteristicallyfrom all other teachings,religious,philosophical,or mystical,is that while it never goes out of ourdaily life,yet with all its practicalness and con-creteness Zen has something in it which makes itstand aloof from the scene of worldly sordidnessand restlessness.  \nHere we come to the connection between Zenand archery,and such other arts as swordsmanship,flower arrangement,the tea ceremony,dancing,and the fine arts.  \nZen is the ‘everyday mind’,as was proclaimedby Baso(Ma-tsu,died 788);this ‘everyday mind'is no more than ‘sleeping when tired,eating whenhungry'.As soon as we reflect,d","cbCaigdEOQjyX5H3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigdEOQjyX5H3","pdf",3740019,122,"English","# Foreword\n## The mind
