Eugen Herrigel (1885–1955)
Eugen Herrigel was a German philosopher who introduced Zen to large parts of Europe. He used archery in an attempt to further understand Zen. In 1936 he published a 20-page article entitled
Die Ritterliche Kunst des Bogenschiessens (
The Knightly Art of Archery) in the journal,
Zeitshrift für Japanologie, which later formed the core of his most famous work
Zen in the Art of Archery.
