The following traditional archery books are available from
Everyone knows "Zen in the Art of Archery" by Eugen Herrigel.
Author: Eugen Herrigel Pub. date: ISBN: 0-679-72297-1 Binding: Paperback Publisher: Vintage Books
Also of interest may be:
Zen Nippon Kyudo Renmei Kishi Memorial Hall 1-1-1, Jinnan, Shibuya-ku Tokyo, Japan
I just read a positive review of the following book, but have not seen it in stores yet:
I would recommend the book "The Secret of the Target", by Jackson Morisawa. It emphasizes the Zen aspects of Kyudo. It is published by Viking/Penguin. I know it is available from:
Chozen-ji BookstorePOLSKA BRON by TJERY WERNER
It is the best book I've read on the history of crossbows,long, recurve and compound (composite) bows.
More pictures and schematics than I've ever seen in a single book
It also covers Eurasian and Asian stuff
Unfortunately in Polish but worth translating or just looking at the schematics ESPECIALLY crossbows and compound
(composite) "turkish" bows ( they are really Assyrian 5th cent. BC or older)Magazines
THE GLADE
Editor: Ted Bradford Price: UKP 2.80, UKP 14.00 subscription/year Availability: Archery shops or subscription: Contact: Ted Bradford 62 Hook Rise North Tolworth, Surrey KT67JY England E-mail: 101372.67@compuserve.com Review: You won't find an English language archery magazine that's much better than Ted Bradford's 'The Glade' out of the UK. If your Kanji's up to speed Yoshi Komatsu's "Archery" mag. from Japan is wonderful. Maybe some kind person with an address for one of these can post more info ?
