Recenzii

"Both Zen Buddhism and the art of calligraphy can seem impenetrable to newcomers. Even the nuances of how to hold a brush can form an insurmountable obstacle without proper training. However, Shozo Sato'sShodo, The Quiet Art of Japanese Zen Calligraphysynthesizes these challenging fields into an easily digestible and visually stunning volume…Shodois a perfect coffee table book for those wanting to learn more about calligraphy, and dip their brushes into the world Zen."—Kyoto Journal

"This book is a gift for the mind and the eyes. Thoughtful commentary provokes an ongoing consideration of the meanings of the Zen phrases, while the brilliant inclusion of calligraphic how-to educates the eyes on how to follow the lines of ink in the original free-flowing gestures of the brush. I know I will return to this book again and again." --Christy A. Bartlett, Director, Urasenke Foundation San Francisco

"An extraordinary book! Art and wisdom poised on the tip of a brush." --Lee Gurga, Editor, Modern Haiku Press
