Five Rings Illustrated. The classic text on mastery in Swordsmanship, leadership and conflict: A new translation

Miyamoto Musashis "Five Rings" is a classic Japanese work on mastery in swordsmanship, leadership and conflict. Musashi was a swordsman, philosopher and strategist, and today his work remains of influence not only in the realm of martial arts but in the business world, too. Musashis no-nonsense approach to the martial arts and combat includes eliminating technical flourishes, understanding that technique should simply be understood as defeating your opponent, and appreciating that the same qualities apply in both small-scale and large-scale conflicts. Repeatedly, he stresses the importance of learning through practice, rather than merely reading about them. Produced using beautiful traditional Chinese bookbinding techniques, "Five Rings Illustrated" is presented in an exquisite illustrated edition with a brand new modern translation.
