Miyamoto Musashi

"Miyamoto Musashi (宮本 武蔵, c. 1584 – June 13, 1645), also known as Shinmen Takezō, Miyamoto Bennosuke or, by his Buddhist name, Niten Dōraku, was a Japanese swordsman, philosopher, writer and rōnin. Musashi, as he was often simply known, became renowned through stories of his excellent and unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in his 61 duels (next is 33 by Itō Ittōsai). He was the founder of the Niten-Ichi-Ryū-School or Nito-Ichi-ryū style of swordsmanship and in his final years authored The Book of Five Rings (五輪の書, Go Rin No Sho), and Dokkōdō (The Path of Aloneness). Both documents were given to Terao Magonojō, the most important of Musashi's students, seven days before Musashi's death. The Book of Five Rings deals primarily with the character of his Niten-Ichi-Ryū-School in a concrete sense e.g. his own practical martial art and its generic significance; The Path of Aloneness on the other hand, deals with the ideas that lie behind it, as well as his life's philosophy in a few short aphoristic sentences.

Samenvatting

The Complete Book of Five Rings is an authoritative version of Musashis classic the Book of Five Rings, translated and annotated by a modern martial arts master, Kenji Tokitsu. Tokitsu has spent most of his life researching the legendary samurai swordsman and his works, and in this book he illuminates this seminal text, along with several other works by Musashi. these include the Mirror of the Way of Strategy, which Musashi wrote when he was in his twenties; Thirty-five Instructions on Strategy, and Forty-two Instructions on Strategy, which were precursors to the Book of Five Rings; and the Way to Be Followed Alone, which Musashi wrote just days before his death. Read together, these five texts give readers an unusually detailed, nuanced view of Musashis ideas on swordsmanship, strategy, and self-cultivation. Tokitsu puts all these writings into historical and philosophical context and makes them accessible and relevant to Todays readers and martial arts students. Tokitsu understands Musashis writingsand Musashi as a martial artistunusually well and is able to provide a rare insight into the man and his historical contribution.
