Книга Такуан Сохо - Письма мастера Дзен мастеру Фехтования - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Author: Takuan Soho

Description: Takuan Soho, a legendary 17th-century Japanese, was a Zen monk, calligrapher, artist, poet, gardener, and inventor of the fermented radish recipe that bears his name and is still very popular in Japan. Takuan's writings in Japanese comprise six volumes. Today they are read with the same interest as three and a half centuries ago, finding in them a source of inspiration not only for the study of martial arts, but also for other activities in which integrity of perception and determination are important.

This audiobook includes translations of three treatises and a collection of evening teachings at Tokaiji Temple. The treatises were written by Takuan himself. Two of them are letters addressed to the martial artists of the time: the sword master Yagyu Munenori Tajima-no-kami and Ono Tadaaki, who headed the Itto fencing school. Only one of the treatises included in this book, “The Clear Sound of Gems”, in all likelihood, was not intended as a message to a specific person. The circumstances under which all three treatises were written, as well as the exact time of their appearance, are unknown.
