Several years ago, in Autumn Lightning, Dave Lowry
wrote of his experiences growing up as a young American
whom had been informally "adopted" into the family of a
Japanese martial arts teacher. It was a fascinating,
semi-biographical account that delved into the nature
of the Japanese martial arts experience. Now, a number
of years later, he has returned with a sequel called
Persimmon Wind--A Martial Artist's Journey in Japan.
In Persimmon Wind, Mr. Lowry details his first
visit to Japan to reunite with his teacher of Japanese
swordsmanship. Lovers of fine biographies, martial arts
enthusiasts, folks interested in Japanese culture--all
will enjoy Persimmon Wind.
