Brush Strokes (Poems, Essays and Calligraphy) ReviewStated on copyright page: 750 copies printed
Quotes on back cover:
David Heinlein's writing has an openness and innocence that is both wonderful to read and rare to find among modem poets. His poignant storytelling evokes echoes of another New Jersey writer: Walt Whitman. -- Ed Leefeldt, New York City Author of "Lighter Than Air" and "The Woman Who Rode the Wind"
As an American who has lived in Japan, David Heinlein has an especially strong feeling for the links between America and Japan. I admire him both as a writer and as a human being. -- Alicia Ostriker, Princeton, NJ Professor of English, Rutgers University, Author of "The Crack in Everything"
David Heinlein is my forever-fnend in the United States, and a very unique individual. His experience as cultural ambassador to Japan is extraordinarily interesting. His dedication to poetry writing, intellectual sincerity and honesty, and profound sensibility in reading Japanesete texts--all these I admire wholeheartedly. -- Yutaka Ito, Japan Assistant Professor, Yamagata University
A unique collection of poems and essays synthesizing the personal and political and East and West. -- Martin Rivlin, New York City Researcher, Columbia UniversityBrush Strokes (Poems, Essays and Calligraphy) Overview

Shodo: The Art of Coordinating Mind, Body and Brush ReviewHaving studied shodo for more than 10 years, I felt very lucky to find this book in a bookshop back in 1998.
Where English sources are very scarce, this book provided me everything from how to handle the brush to the aesthetics.
Mr. Reed takes the subject in its broadest form and with use of many black&white pictures he succesfully explains the "Way of Brush Writing".
It is a must for the practitioner, and as well for those who are interested in Japanese culture. I think those who are intested in Chinese painting and Sumi-e will like it too.Shodo: The Art of Coordinating Mind, Body and Brush Overview

The Japanese Way of the Artist: Living the Japanese Arts & Ways, Brush Meditation, The Japanese Way of the Flower (Michi: Japanese Arts and Ways) ReviewH.E. Davey, in "The Japanese Way of the Artist," both describes the various "Ways" of the artist, and deftly identifies how these arts transform one who diligently practices them. This anthology of three previous works makes available the broad strokes, as well as the practical details, of the Japanese arts. Davey's writing is highly accessible and remarkably accurate and insightful. This is an important source for understanding the Japanese and their artistic "Ways".The Japanese Way of the Artist: Living the Japanese Arts & Ways, Brush Meditation, The Japanese Way of the Flower (Michi: Japanese Arts and Ways) Overview

Yuri's Brush with Magic ReviewHaving just finished Maureen Crane Wartski's "Yuri's Brush with Magic", I want to comment on the quality of the writing, the development of the characters and the absorbing movement of the story whether it is read by children from ten and up or by adults. Ms. Wartski is an excellent writer who has written young adult fiction that has dealt with problems of refugees, immigration and special needs of children. She does not shirk from presenting dilemmas that are difficult but also realistic even for children under twelve. Right from the first chapter of "Yuri's Brush with Magic", Ms. Wartski manages to incorporate issues of impending loss, mixed racial heritage, and anger without incurring maudlin reactions or undue sentimentality in her readers. We soon become entirely absorbed in the many characters, whether they are sympathetically portrayed or not. They are all real for us and will be so for her younger readers as well. That there is potential for change in both circumstances and individuals brings hope to us all. Mistaken assumptions can be corrected. Connections can be made. The world of nature can be comforting and is described in poignant, poetic, even fantastical ways. Yet the ending is not overly optimistic, leaving room for uncertainty; for such is life!
I very much recommend Maureen Crane Wartski's latest book, "Yuri's Brush with Magic" Frances Z. Goldberg, retired clinical psychologistYuri's Brush with Magic Overview

Sword and Brush: The Spirit of the Martial Arts ReviewLowry, an accomplished martial artist, teacher and student of Asian history, presents another terrific insight into the wonderful world of the martial arts. Each "chapter" begins with the traditional japanese caligraphy for a common martial arts term. Lowry then breaks the components of the caligraphy character(s)which gives even seasoned students of the martial arts a new perspective on both the term and their training. This is followed with commentary and insights into how this relates to the martial arts training experience. The calligraphy for "Kyu" (color-belt ranks) for example is dissected into elements that represent the "tying together of threads." Lowry then allows the reader to "discover" how this relates to martial arts training (my "discovery" was that, just as threads are woven together to make cloth, the experiences of a "lower rank" student are "woven" together to create a "black belt" rank.)
I highly recommend this book to intermediate and advanced students of Japanese martial arts. Lowry's perspective allows the reader to fully understand what previously were "simple concepts" and re-evaluate the way they approach their training.Sword and Brush: The Spirit of the Martial Arts Overview

Sumi-E Just for You: Traditional One Brush Ink Painting ReviewI found this book very helpful. I have a number of books on sumi-e, and I found that this book shows how to do the sumi-e brush strokes more specifically and clearly than other books I've read. It describes the materials you need, and shows how to use the sumi ink and brush to paint a variety of different subjects. I recommend it!Sumi-E Just for You: Traditional One Brush Ink Painting Overview
