Miyamoto Musashi is the greatest swordsman who ever lived. He is renowned for his fighting prowess and famous for having never having been defeated. Then he mysteriously disappeared at the relatively young age of 29 to meditate and study.

This book tells the fascinating story of Musashi's return from isolation as he pens his great masterpiece on military tactics, The Book of Five Rings, and begins to train a new generation of Samurai warriors.

The exciting events recounted in this book include:

How and why Musashi wrote The Book of Five Rings, a revolutionary work that has become the most widely-read book on swordsmanship and Samurai strategy ever written The important lessons he provides including the idea of 'no mind', or what we now call 'flow', which involves endless practice emptying your mind of thoughts to move intuitively without thinking Musashi's school for young Samurai warriors where students flock to study with the great master and his final days as he passes the torch to a new generation and solidifies his legacy as Japan's greatest swordsman

Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings: The Manga Edition is a beautifully-illustrated look at the life and legacy of Japan's greatest warrior in graphic novel form.

Reviews for Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings: The Manga Edition: Japan's Legendary Book on Samurai Military Strategy

""Engrossing and highly readable…I'd highly recommend this manga for readers interested in the history of martial arts, biographies of intriguing individuals, as well as strategic and philosophical ideas."" —Bernie Gourley ""This is not an adaption of the Book of Five Rings (which is a philosophical/strategic piece) but rather an exploration of its themes…The illustration work is clean and friendly and this is a light but thoughtful exploration of the legendary man and his writings, especially in his later years."" —The Online Eccentric Librarian
