'When you attain the Way of strategy, there will not be one thing you cannot see.' -Miyamoto Musashi This deluxe silkbound 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 that complement the text, this luxurious hardback makes a perfect gift. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Silkbound Classics series brings together deluxe gift editions of literary classics, presented with luxurious silk binding, striking embossed cover designs and full-color illustrations.

only for martial artists who practice with swords
Really, only for martial artists who practice with swords. Not much else to learn in this.

A book on sword fight
A book on sword fight - the Japanese style. It also gives advice on combat in general. The principles can perhaps be applied to other situations too. It is a short book. This prevents it from being boring.

Cover not as advertised
The contents of the book itself is pretty good. However, the cover I hot is not the same as the onei bought and the writing on the spine is warped, as you can see in the second picture linked.
