With all the misleading information and fake quotes attributed to Musashi, we decided to prepare a video series of The Book of Five Rings (五輪書, Go Rin no Sho), for all those who are passionate about eastern warrior's culture, especially during feudal Japan.
For this reason, we hope you can support this initiative by sharing this work to all those who will appreciate its value. 🙏
💠 The Book of Five Rings is one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of confrontation and victory to emerge from Asian culture. Written not only for martial artists but for anyone who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life, the book analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies every level of human interaction.
💠 The Book of Five Rings was composed in 1643 by the famed duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists and people across East Asia: for instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. The modern-day Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū employs it as a manual of technique and philosophy.
💠 Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive, and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle. Descriptions of principles are often followed by admonitions to "investigate this thoroughly" through practice rather than trying to learn them by merely reading.
💠 Today we are starting a series of the video version of this book. We hope this book is not just something pleasurable to watch and read, but rather something that drives you to think deeper about the real meaning of martial arts. In the end of the day, what will help you grow as a warrior and human being, is the experience that you gain in your daily life.
