Shortly before his death in 1645, Musashi retreated to a cave to live as a hermit. There he wrote five scrolls describing the 'true principles' required for victory in the martial arts and on the battlefield. Instead of relying on religion or theory, Musashi based his writings on his own experience, observation, and reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scrolls, published as The Book of Five Rings, have recently gained an international reputation in the business world as a means of resolving differences and achieving success. But their delineation of the psychological strength, rigorous self-control, and practical application necessary for dealing with physical and mental conflict also has a wider relevance and can be usefully applied to all our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiyamoto Musashi was born around 1584 into a samurai family in Harima province. His mother died soon after his birth, so he was raised by his step-mother and then his uncle, a monk from the Shoreian temple. While staying with his uncle, he was taught Zen Buddhisma and basic reading and writing. He had his first duel at the age of thirteen and went on to have 59 more, claiming never to have lost a single one. He completed his influential book on swordsmanship in May 1645, the year he died.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTitle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Book of Five Rings: Gilded Pocket Edition (Arcturus Ornate Classics, 5) by Miyamoto Musashi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDelivery \u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eContent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eReviews \u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Miyamoto Musashi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57212305932613,"sku":"SNG22505","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/4308\/2821\/files\/41dLPiyaw-L.jpg?v=1771632202","url":"https:\/\/redhotcomics.co.uk\/products\/the-book-of-five-rings-gilded-pocket-edition-arcturus-ornate-classics-5","provider":"Redhotcomics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
