Heaven and Earth are volumes one and two of Hatsumi Sensei's art book series. The theme of Heaven is martial virtue: military force used properly — namely, to create civilization and maintain peace. Earth's theme is bonno (afflictions understood in Buddhism to be rooted in misconceptions and the cause of suffering). Earth helps us meditate on those of Sensei's paintings which illustrate “the three poisons” of ignorance, rage, and desire.
Heaven and Earth are Swiss bound (which allows the front cover to open fully) and Smyth sewn (so pages lay flat) — fully revealing the art and action photos. The books are bilingual, written in Japanese and English and printed in full color plus metallic gold ink. Each book comes in a case. Heaven is 224 pages, Earth is 240 pages. Heaven won Most Outstanding Design at the IPPY Awards (the Independent Publisher Book Awards) and Earth is based upon the same award-winning design.
