What is Blyth ZEN ?
Zen means doing anything perfectly, making mistakes perfectly, being defeated perfectly, ・・・
Dr.Reginald Horace Blyth said at the beginning of the chapter 'Culture and Zen' in his Twenty-One Zen Essays, published by the Hokuseido Press in 1962.
What is Zen? Zen originated in India, developed in China together with Taoism, and came to Japan as sort of third-hand thing, something which the Japanese themselves did not create. Yet it is Zen in Japan that is Zen at its best, at its most living, most human, and above all, most poetical. according to Blyth, Zen means doing anything perfectly, making mistakes perfectly, being defeated perfectly, hesitating perfectly, having stomachache perfectly, doing anything, perfectly or imperfectly, PERFECTLY.

Senryu indeed are themselves a way of life.
The world is tragic, the world is comic, - not alternately, but simultaneously; and senryu had tried to see the world as serious and humorous at one and the same time, and always, whatever the circumstances may be.

A writer of poetry
Had better be unskilful:
It would be a terrible thing
If Haven and Earth
Began to move.
