Five Rings

- The Classic Text on Mastery in Swordsmanship, Leadership and Conflict: A New Translation

About Five Rings

Produced using beautiful traditional Chinese bookbinding techniques, Five Rings is presented in an exquisite edition with a brand-new modern translation and new cover design. 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 today his work remains of influence not only in the realm of martial arts but in the business world as well. Musashi's 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 it.
