Miyamoto Musashi

Mehr zum Buch

Setting down his thoughts on swordplay, winning, and spirituality, legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi intended this modest work as a guide for his disciples and future generations of samurai. Unbeknownst to him, he was crafting a masterpiece that would resonate with readers across centuries. Alongside The Art of War by Sun Tzu, this work is revered as a crucial treatise on strategy. Musashi's timeless insights on defeating adversaries, creating confusion, and overpowering opponents were originally aimed at warriors but now apply to the broader struggles of modern life. In this new translation by William Scott Wilson, who also translated Hagakure and The Unfettered Mind, the text adheres closely to the original seventeenth-century Japanese, clarifying ambiguities found in previous versions. The edition includes an extensive introduction and a translation of Musashi's lesser-known work, The Way of Walking Alone. It features original art by Musashi and new calligraphy by Japanese artist Shiro Tsujimura. Musashi (1584-1645) was a renowned swordsman and painter, known for developing the two-sword fighting style and achieving victory in over 60 duels throughout Japan. Wilson, born in 1944, has produced long-selling translations that have become standards in the field.
