The Book of Five Rings

Written by the undefeated samurai swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, this is the art of strategy as few have ever lived it.



The Book of Five Rings is one of the most enduring works on martial arts and strategic thinking ever written. Composed in 1645 by master swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, this concise text outlines the "Way" (Dō) through five elemental scrolls—Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void—each representing principles of technique, mindset, and spiritual clarity.



Far more than a manual for warriors, this book has become required reading for entrepreneurs, executives, military leaders, and seekers of personal excellence worldwide. Its lessons on focus, timing, adaptability, and inner strength remain as vital in the boardroom as they were on the battlefield.



This edition includes historical commentary, annotations, and classic illustrations to guide the modern reader.
