'When you attain the Way of strategy, there will not be one thing you cannot see.'
-Miyamoto Musashi


This deluxe silkbound slipcase edition presents The Book of Five Rings, a classic Japanese text written by undefeated swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. In it, he records his "true principles" which guarantee victory in 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.

Featuring beautiful full-color illustrations that complement the text, this luxurious hardback makes a perfect gift.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Silkbound Classics series brings together deluxe gift editions of literary classics, presented with luxurious silk binding, striking embossed cover designs and full-color illustrations.

A fascinating book on strategy and discipline which was taken up by businessmen as a instruction manual for outwitting the competition. According to Time magazine: 'On Wall Street, when Musashi talks, people listen'

The author's courageous study of philosophical and spiritual ideas is as relevant today as it was in its own time

Over 67,000 copies of this deluxe silk-bound edition sold
