The Life of Miyamoto Musashi
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
Respected samurai culture expert William Scott Wilson presents a vibrant portrayal of feudal Japan and the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who authored the classic martial arts treatise The Book of Five Rings. Born in 1584, Miyamoto Musashi was renowned worldwide as a masterful samurai, spiritual seeker, and the author of the timeless Book of Five Rings, a book on strategy. Even more than 350 years after his passing, Musashi and his legacy continue to captivate audiences around the globe, inspiring artists, writers, and filmmakers.
In The Lone Samurai, William Scott Wilson provides an insightful account of a captivating era in feudal Japan, as well as a depiction of the brave, rebellious samurai who grappled with philosophical and spiritual concepts that remain relevant today as they were in his time. Musashi believed that the way of the martial arts was about mastering the mind rather than just technical prowess, and this journey to mastery is the fundamental lesson in his Book of Five Rings. This special edition includes additional material about Musashi’s influence as a martial arts icon, his impact on literature and film, and the lasting effect of his Book of Five Rings.
