名人伝(名人伝) 中島敦著 | Goodreads

This story depicts the ultimate in technique and its transcendence through the story of Kimyo's quest to become a master of archery.

Kimyo learns the secrets of archery after rigorous training under Fie, but his quest does not stop there, and he meets an old master named Amabai in search of more truth. Amabai's display of fuki no yai, or the art of shooting down a bird without firing an arrow, radically changes Kimyo's sense of value, leading him to the point where he forgets even the name of his bow without showing off his skill as a master.

The highlight of this story is when Kimyo meets Amabai and learns how to shoot fuki no yai. It seems to suggest that mastering a skill is not the only path to becoming a master. As I read it, I was moved by Kimyo's inner transformation and the path he eventually reached. His journey may be described as a story of self-realization that goes beyond his apparent success and fame.

Overall, "Master's Biography" goes beyond the superficial story of mastering a skill and asks the reader the importance of inner exploration and self-transcendence.
