"In the long history of Japanese fine arts, only one expression has a pure, spiritual foundation- this is Zen art. Today, with form and texhnique as art's most important concerns, its spiritual quality is almost forgotten. Especially in the world of Buddhist art, the intangible quality of Zen religioius ideas and experience has made a direct understanding of their artistic expression difficult. What is it in art that comes from and touches the human spirit- that expresses infinite meaning without form and convention. this is the first book to discolose the spiritual relationship between Zen and the fines arts and show its intrinsic meaning." -Jacket.
