The Book of Five Rings: The Strategy of the Samurai

By Thomas Cleary, William Scott Wilson, Miyamoto Musashi

A beautiful hardback gift edition of Miyamoto Musashi's classic work of eastern philosophy, The Book of Five Rings, presented full-color illustrations and striking lazer-cut page edges.

This deluxe gift-edition presents The Book of Five Rings, a classic Japanese text written by undefeated swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. In it, he records his "true principles" which guarantee 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 Five Rings, have recently gained an international reputation in the business world as a means of resolving differences and achieving success. But their delineation of the psychological strength, rigorous self-control, and practical application necessary for dealing with physical and mental conflict also has a wider relevance and can be usefully applied to all our lives.

Featuring beautiful full-color illustrations, this luxurious hardback with unique etched edges makes a perfect gift.
