    A must have for any martial artist
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2012*

The biggest surprise of this book is that it has never been made into a movie.  The author was a script writer who obviously had a deep understanding of Zen and human nature. He was black listed during the McCarthy era in Hollywood and seems to have written this book while he couldn't get work in Hollywood.  This book is written in a spare, terse fashion that is almost like a screenplay.I first encountered this book in `969-70 when it was required reading for people taking the karate class from Dr. David Krieger at the University of Hawaii. David sensei is a unique person. He worked as a reporter in Japan, He was one of the few people to defeat the fabled Chuck Norris in an open tournament and is now the head of the Nuclear Peace foundation, have grown and learned so much that he has transcended violence and the martial arts.  I have cherished this book for more than 40 years and require all of my senior karate students to read it. It is a classic heroes journey with a cocky young man rising to the heights and falling to the depths and then being pursued by a young man determined to avenge the death of his father and abduction of his mother. Although sparely worded and short by most novel standards, there is depth of thought in the story that makes you spend lots of time pondering the nature of life, mankind, ambition, love, vengeance and most of all self delusion.The only complaint I have about this book is that I keep loaning it to people and never getting it back. That's understandable since it is the type of book you read and re-read.

    This was a pretty good story but please remember that it is based ...
  

*by G***F on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2015*

This was a pretty good story but please remember that it is based on a Zen myth and therefore the ending is typical of a Zen myth.  One bad thing about this book is absolutely cannot decide what time period it takes place in.  At many places it talks about things that make you think it is set in the late 12th century, like when it speaks of "the rout of the Minamoto".  However later in the book it makes an allusion to a story concerning Ieyasu which mean it has to take place after the year 1600 at least.  Also some things that it refers to were not around in the 12th century.  Some of that is normal with English speaking authors writing stories of Japan as they are trying to appeal to the masses and therefore often talk about Noh theatre, or warriors carrying katana when these things were not around yet.  But this book pushes  it a little for the someone like me a hardcore Japanese history and culture buff.  All in all though it is a good story and worth a read since it a short book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    great story about attachment/non-attachment to getting what you want
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020*

One line: "It was like being crowned emperor while having a pubic hair caught in your foreskin." Man!Human life is dissatisfaction, the Buddha said. Like licking honey off a thorn, a Dutch guy told me once.There's a lot of unromantic humorous truths in this little book.
