During his lifetime, Miyamoto Musashi codified his "true principles," which he believed guaranteed victory in martial arts and on the battlefield. Instead of relying on religion or theory, Musashi based his writings on his own experience, observation, and reason. The scrolls, published as The Book of the Five Rings, have recently gained international recognition in the business world as a tool for resolving disagreements and achieving success. But their description of the psychological strength, strict self-control, and practical application necessary to manage physical and mental conflict also has broader relevance and can be useful to us all.
This deluxe hardcover edition features the original Japanese text alongside Victor Harris's English translation. The book is luxuriously designed with striking stenciled page edges, beautiful full-color illustrations, and a gold embossed cover, making it the perfect gift or collector's item.
Specifications: The original Book of the Five Rings (五輪書, Go Rin no Sho) is a text on kenjutsu and martial arts in general, written by Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi between 1643 and 1645.
