El libro de los cinco círculos presenta, por un lado, las normas básicas de táctica, estrategia y disciplina que un samurai como oficiante de un arte debe seguir. Por otro lado, muestra el pensamiento profundo de un hombre (o un artista) con respecto al asunto fundamental: la vida. Se trata de un texto abierto, amplio y diáfano que valora la existencia individual sin olvidar jamás que el mundo está habitado por un sinnúmero de semejantes: Es difícil el conocerse a sí mismo si no se conoce a los demás.

“When you attain the Way of strategy, there will not be one thing you cannot see.”
Miyamoto Musashi
Shortly before his death in 1645, the undefeated swordsman Miyamoto 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.
The 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.
This beautiful fully illustrated hardback edition of Musashi’s writings makes a perfect gift.
