Strategy is the craft of a warrior - Miyamoto Musashi 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, too. 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 them. Produced using beautiful
traditional Chinese bookbinding techniques, Five Rings is presented
in an exquisite edition with a brand new modern translation.
