«Das Buch der fünf Ringe» is the essay on strategy and philosophy by Miyamoto Musashi, published by Droemer Knaur in paperback (140 pages, in German).
Miyamoto Musashi wrote this treatise around 1645, shortly before his death. Divided into five scrolls, it sets out the principles for victory in martial arts and on the battlefield, based on experience, observation and reason rather than theory or religion. It is also a reflection on discipline and strategy.
The original Japanese title is «Go Rin no Sho» (五輪書). This edition belongs to the Knaur Esoterik collection.
A work of interest for readers of Japanese philosophy and samurai history, as well as for fans of non-fiction classics.
Miyamoto Musashi was a Japanese swordsman, strategist, artist, and writer who became renowned through stories of his unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in his 62 duels. Musashi is considered a kensei of Japan. He was the founder of the Niten Ichi-ryū style of swordsmanship. In his final years, Musashi authored The Book of Five Rings and Dokkōdō.
