A stunning graphic novel biography of the famous samurai warrior who
wrote the classic text on Japanese martial arts, The Book of Five
Rings
Miyamoto Musashi, the legendary samurai, is known throughout the world
as a master swordsman, a spiritual seeker, and the author of the classic
Book of Five Rings. This graphic novel treatment of his amazing life
is both a vivid account of a fascinating period in feudal Japan and a
portrait of courageous, iconoclastic samurai who wrestled with
philosophical and spiritual ideas that are as relevant today as they
were in his time. For Musashi, the way of the martial arts was about
mastery of the mind rather than simply technical prowess.
Over 350 years after his death, Musashi still intrigues us--and his
Book of Five Rings is essential reading for students of all martial
arts and those interested in cultivating strategic mind.
