A comprehensive and accessible read on what I find to be a thoroughly intriguing subject.  This book examines the way that Zen found a fertile home in the mind and hearts of the Japanese people.  And how those very same people helped to bring new form and thought to the religion itself.I found it to be a fascinating read, which was hard to pull away from until the very last page.  The chapter on the tea ceremony was a personal favorite.Though no one book could truly cover every facet of this subject, this does give a good base for someone just starting to explore an interest.  As well as it would be a welcome addition to any library of someone who is well versed in the material.-MAD Giles
