Description
A stunning graphic novel biography of the famous samurai warrior who wrote the classic text on Japanese martial arts, The Book of Five Rings
MiyamotoMusashi, 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. ForMusashi, the way of the martial arts was about mastery of the mind rather than simply technical prowess. Over 350 years after his death,Musashistill intrigues us-and his Book of Five Rings is essential reading for students of all martial arts and those interested in cultivating strategic mind.
