Description
Written around 1645, Miyamoto Musashi’s Five Rings is a classic Japanese work on mastery in swordsmanship, leadership and conflict. Musashi was a swordsman, philosopher and strategist, and his ideas continue to influence not only martial arts but also the business world. His direct approach to martial arts and combat rejects unnecessary technical flourishes, presenting technique as a means of defeating an opponent and showing how the same qualities apply to both small-scale and large-scale conflicts. Musashi repeatedly stresses the importance of learning through practice rather than merely reading about it. This illustrated edition uses traditional Chinese bookbinding techniques and presents a new modern translation alongside illustrations.
