Samurai Zenbrings together 100 of the rare riddles which represent the core spiritual discipline of Japan''s ancient Samurai tradition. Dating from thirteenth-century records of Japan''s Kamakura temples, and traditionally guarded with a reverent secrecy, they reflect the earliest manifestation of pure Zen in Japan.
