Description

The Book of Five Rings is without doubt one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of war of words and victory to emerge from Asian culture. Written not only for martial artists but for any person who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life, the book analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies each level of human interaction.

The Book of Five Rings used to be composed in 1643 by the famed duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi. Thomas Cleary’s translation is in an instant accessible, with an introduction that presents the spiritual background of the warrior tradition. At the side of Musashi’s text, Cleary translates here any other important Japanese classic on leadership and strategy, The Book of Circle of relatives Traditions on the Art of War by Yagyu Munenori, which highlights the ethical and non secular insights of Taoism and Zen as they apply to the way of the warrior.
