Eugen Herrigel was a German philosopher who taught philosophy at Tohoku Imperial University in Sendai, Japan, from 1924 to 1929 and introduced Zen to large parts of Europe through his writings. While living in Japan from 1924 to 1929, he was taught kyūdō, traditional Japanese archery, by Awa Kenzō (阿波研造:1880-1939), a master of archery and founder of his own religion known as "The Great Doctrine of the Way of Shooting". Herrigel allegedly learned archery in the hope of better understanding Zen. A
