Remaining Mind in Japanese is 残心 which is read zanshin. The Japanese word zanshin is a Martial Arts term (particularly Kyudo (Japanese Archery) ) commonly translated as "remaining mind; follow-through" and refers to a relaxed but alert state. It is composed of the kanji 残 (read zan) meaning "remaining" and 心 (read shin) "heart; mind; spirit".

zanshin is a beautiful work and a perfect gift for the Martial Artist and, in particular, for the Japanese Archery practitioner.
