The Book of Five Rings: The Manga Edition

In a carefully conceived graphic version that will resonate with readers of all ages, manga writer Sean Michael Wilson teams up with artist Chie Kutsuwada to bring Musashi's samurai classic to life. The Book of Five Rings offers the great warrior's thoughts on swordplay, winning, and spirituality, in a modest work originally intended as a guide for his immediate disciples and, perhaps, a scattering of local samurai.<br/>Now, centuries after his death, Musashi's timeless advice serves the modern reader in conducting his or her life with confidence, pride, and certitude. Musashi offers not only a strategy for winning with the sword, but also a manual on how to live and walk justly through life. For him, the two were inseparable.
