Description

Dave Lowry juxtaposes his singular experience as an adept student of kenjutsu (the art of swordsmanship) under a Japanese teacher in St. Louis with a riveting account of the samurai tradition in Japan. Intertwining tales of the masters with reflections on his own apprenticeship within the samurai’s arts, he reveals of their time-honored methods a lifestyle with profound relevance to brand new times. The result is an interesting, singular autobiography. Lowry captures the sense of wonder and mystery that makes martial arts compelling to such a lot of practitioners. Even individuals who don’t practice martial arts will delight on this ordinary coming-of-age story.
