Summary: Perhaps not for everybody - but a great book nonetheless!
Review: I enjoyed this book tremendously. However, I think that to someone who is not a fairly regular practitioner of zen meditation it may seem very strange. For those who DO practice zazen on a regular basis, this book has a lot to offer. It's a very pleasant, quasi-poetic extended meditation on many topics. Don't want to try to pigeonhole it much beyond that. I thought it was a great read and I'm grateful to the author for writing it.

Summary: Strange and wonderful
Review: Of all the (many) Buddhism books i read this one stands unique. At first i didn't know how to handle it, it was so crazy, the paragraphs didn't seem to connect together, and every subject handled so strangely. I mean, the book starts with detailed analysis of a poem by a Japanese, II world war, war criminal ...I never finished this book, i didn't even read half of it continuously but i keep on coming back to it for a number of years now, realizing it is a rear treasure.

Summary: A Great Book!
Review: This is perhaps one of the most profound books I ever read on Zen practice. His phrasing style is sometimes reminiscent of Heidegger's best philosophical prose. I strongly recommend it for the Zen practitioner... for the merely curious its considerations might appear too immaterial, for they are extremely subtle.
