Who? References, please.

Takuan Soho perhaps (although he didn't practise himself from what I can gather)? There are quite a few Zen 'masters' who practise Iai as part of their discipline (I'll look it up tonight in Drager's book) and the language/jargon of Kendo/Iai is very Zen-laden so this would suggest these arts are 'Zen arts'. The central teaching of Zen is Zazen is everything!
