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.
