The energy of the book hurls you forward and deeper into a world balanced between spirituality and total chaos but page by page that balance teeters toward the unimaginable. The author does a wonderful job conveying Japanese culture, especially as seen through the eyes of the Shingon Buddhism. It's heavy on the esoteric, which might be a bit cumbersome for some Zennists but irregardless of sect orientation, it is still a good read.
I'd give it an 7.5 out of 10. If anyone wants the book, I'd be happy to send it out to you. I'll send it to the first person who asks in the comment section. Unfortunately though I can only ship inside the U.S., Canada or Mexico.
