Man: A Study on the Philosophical Edification of Zanshin in Bushido Context of Future (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798886762396)

This book explores Man: A Study on the Philosophical Edification of Zanshin in Bushido Context of Future. This study is focused on finding the context of the edification of Zanshin. To edify means to instruct and improve, especially in moral and religious knowledge. Zanshin (Japanese: 残心) means the state of awareness with relaxed alertness which is generally used in Japanese martial arts, especially Kendo. A literal Japanese translation of Zanshin is "remaining mind". Zanshin is originally used for all Japanese culture's life including Kado, Sado, Judo, Kendo, Kyudo, Shogido, etc. However, the fundamental meaning of Zanshin is including the power of life, the power of understanding, and the power of action. The thesis also introduces two approaches to the foundations of values that determine the quality of life. One is a case study of the development of religious background in Japan and other related countries including indigenous teaching including the interrelationships of the Ainu people and others in Japan.

The recommendations include holding major events, such as EXPO2025 OSAKA/KANSAI and Sapporo Olympics 2030 with Zanshin spirit.
