À propos de ce contenu audio

The Complete Book of Five Rings is an authoritative version of Musashi's 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 20s; "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.

Heard together, these five texts give listeners an unusually detailed, nuanced view of Musashi's ideas on swordsmanship, strategy, and self-cultivation. Tokitsu puts all these writings into historical and philosophical context and makes them accessible and relevant to today's listeners and martial arts students. Tokitsu understands Musashi's writings - and Musashi as a martial artist - unusually well and is able to provide a rare insight into the man and his historical contribution.

As a practitioner of martial arts, a Japanese philosophy enthusiast and an aspiring politician, in my humble opinion, this book is a real masterpiece. I was in awe throughout the whole book. It felt like it was an essay written by Bruce Lee elaborating on Sun Tsu's Art Of War, or like a prophet conveying a divine message from his god. Miyamoto Musashi was not only a martial artist, samurai and philosopher, but also one of the pioneers in the arts of war and politics. He was truly a genius.

I'm in love.
