Including extensive illustrations and an all-new introduction by the author, The Japanese Way of the Artist (Stone Bridge Press, September 2007) anthologizes three complete, out-of-print works by the Director of the Sennin Foundation Center for Japanese Cultural Arts. With penetrating insight into the universe of Japanese spiritual, artistic, and martial traditions, H. E. Davey explores everything from karate to calligraphy, ikebana to tea, demonstrating how all traditional Japanese arts share the same spiritual goals: serenity, mind/body harmony, awareness, and a sense of connection to the universe.

"As artful as a flower arrangement, this succinct, powerful book instructs as well as inspires. From historical overview to stylistic differentiation, and from meditative exercises to basic principles to step-by-step design, this is a wonderful work that will enrich anyone's personal Way of self-cultivation." -Stephen M. Fabian, Ph.D., author of Clearing Away Clouds: Nine Lessons for Life from the Martial Arts
The Japanese Way of the Flower is out of print, but the entire book was recently included in the new anthology The Japanese Way of the Artist. The Japanese Way of the Artist can be purchased at www.amazon.com.
