The Sword of No-Sword: Life of the Master Warrior Tesshu

this is a very cool book about Yamaoka Tesshu, a famous samurai, who wrote much on Zen, and martial arts.
I follow a lot of blogs. Some of them are Japanese artists following the traditional irezumi style with tebori. What always surprises me is the level of philosophy laden in their thoughts and actions. Like my own India, I feel a deep love and respect for the Japanese culture, as well Chinese culture. These are deep traditions, and the level of introspection alive in each day, ... There is so much knowledge in this world, I feel I will not be able to grasp all the wonderfu lives, and deep stories before my life expires.
