Five Rings (häftad, eng)

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 conflictsRepeatedly, he stresses the importance of learning through practice, rather than merely reading about them.
Produced in a handy pocket format, Five Rings is presented in an exquisite illustrated edition with a brand new modern translation.
