Good book. Layout needs work.

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2013

Verified Purchase

The book is very interesting and informative, if a little dry at times.

The layout could definitely do with a make over. The footnotes are the major problem. They are just interspersed throughout the chapter (in line with the text) and only denoted by [ ]. Some of them are VERY long, but informative. This disrupts the flow of the book at times.

An Insightful Examination Of What Made The Samurai Tick.

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent introduction to Zen Buddhism as practiced by the Samurai of medieval Japan. It carries the reader from Zen's beginnings within the teachings of The Buddha, to the trail of Bodhidharma, the wild -eyed Indian monk who brought the tradition to China, where it fused with the native philosophies of Taoism, and Confucianism. We then see how it traveled to Japan where the influence of Shinto gave it it's uniquely Japanese flavor. Nukariya then explains how this form of meditation practice exerted such a strong influence over the Samurai class of warriors and administrators. It's intensity, fearlessness, and world view fit perfectly with the Bushido ethos of these fierce warriors. If the reader is familiar with Buddhist or Samurai history , he may find some of the spellings of technical terms a bit confusing at first, but it doesn't take long to catch on to his method. This fusion of Samurai, and Zen lore is appropriate for new or advanced students of Martial Arts and/or comparative religion. A BIG 5 STARS!

Beware of this no-page number edition!

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

If anyone finds it important, please know that this book does not have page numbers on any pages or on the table of contents. Extremely disconcerting considering that many many footnotes ( some quite lengthy) are inserted within the text. Also, one of the chapters begins with "Chapter IV" (Not bolded or larger type to make it easier to catch while fanning through the pages) on the LAST line of one page and the title of the chapter on the top of the next. And considering each individual chapter has sections that are numbered from 1 onward, this is very difficult to navigate.

Lastly, there is no copyright page nor real title page. On the last page of the book, a bar code and three lines reads: "Made in the USA," "San Bernardino, CA," and the date "12 January 2015." This date was the day I ordered the book. It looks like the book was a print-to-order in a factory. Nothing wrong with that, except the file they used (if the print-to-order guess is true) is TERRIBLE, due to the issues addressed above. The book looks good, but is pretty much useless for any kind of reference or research, or even normal reading for that matter.

I ordered it through Amazon LLC because I wanted a legitimate copy, and have had trouble before with vendors regarding editions, publishers, and other misrepresentations. One thing I can say positively, is that it came very quickly. Other than that, what a huge snafu!!

This book is about Zen Buddhism in early 2oth Century Japan. Do not buy this book for Samurai lore. That ain't what it is. And, it is very good for what it is about.

This publisher is garbage. I've accidentally ordered two books from them now

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

This publisher is garbage. I've accidentally ordered two books from them now. Both of them have arrived as terrible paperbacks with size 8 font, no paragraph spacing, and errors in the print. It appears obvious that what they do is take PDF files of free eBooks and print them in terrible quality without any editing or oversight. AVOID this publisher at all cost. This is a great book and deserves a proper printing.
