Hi Nancy, not any relation to my knowledge (other than the common theme of Zen, of course).
However, and this is speculation on my part, since
Zen in the Art of Archery was published in 1953, and I believe was pretty widely known, it's possible that Pirsig's title was an homage to Herrigel.
By the way, the Master who Herrigel studied under was named Awa Kenzo. I recently found
this followup book that might be interesting.
