The Five Rings: Miyamoto Musashi's Art of Strategy

Title says it.

It’s a great read, I’m not going to go into detail. It’s like trying to describe a sunset, I honestly can’t do it justice.

What a beautiful book design

First I would like to state how well made this book is. The material covered hard back is very upscale. The illustrations are also exceptional. I purchased this translation from reading other reviews stating how true the wording is. Do not hesitate to order this book. Cheers.

I have not finished it; I just went through the history introduction - but it is beautifully printed, has a good quality cover, and is fairly accurate historically. Very good effort from Mr. Groff.

A hard read, but the insights into the mind of a true warrior are worthwhile. I like this translation, but it is direct and sometimes difficult. Read slowly. As Musashi says “think on these things.”

...learn from the past to create a better future!

Good materials and beautiful details for a great book, any martial artist should have one of these in their own library

This was a Christmas gift and I was delighted when it arrived before Christmas, rather than January. The recipient is very happy with it.

Love this bookFrom the legendary samurai Miyamoto MusashiMust read for martial artists and samurai lovers.

Best translation. Beautiful quality.

This is my favourite version of the classic work on strategy: The Book of Five Rings. A fascinating reference to the ancient art of samurai warfare.

I looooove this edition. It's well made, heavy and well printed. A must for anyone into budo history and Japan to some extent.
