H. E. Davey combines a remarkable technical facility in the Japanese art of the brush with a deep understanding of its spiritual profundities. His book offers a marvelous practical introduction to Japanese calligraphy as well as insights into the essence of this art. It is a unique and fascinating presentation of a little-known art of self-cultivation.--Dave Lowry, author of Sword and Brush
This blog is devoted to the book "The Japanese Way of the Artist," an anthology of some of H. E. Davey’s works including "Living the Japanese Arts & Ways: 45 Paths to Meditation & Beauty," "Brush Meditation: A Japanese Way to Mind & Body Harmony," and "The Japanese Way of the Flower: Ikebana as Moving Meditation."

Japanese aesthetics
When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. ~Barbara Bloom
