EXPLORING SAMURAI CULTURE: The Sword Saint of Feudal Japan
Miyamoto Musashi (1584–1645), Japan’s most renowned swordsman, embodies the pinnacle of samurai culture and the warrior tradition
Known as Kensei (Sword Saint), Musashi fought over 60 duels, remaining undefeated, and authored The Book of Five Rings (Go Rin No Sho)....
#LinkeHand
Linkshändigkeit war laut Forschung mal ein evolutionärer Vorteil. Weil seltener (ca 10-11% der Menschen) haben Linkshänder mehr Erfahrung im Nahkampf mit Rechtshändern als Rechtshänder mit Linkshändern.
Autor der »Fünf Ringe« #MiyamotoMusashi, Erfinder einer bewunderten Zwei-Schwert-Technik, war wohl Linkshänder. Unter Samurai galten ›hidari-gomon‹ (Google translate sagt: ›links-5-Fragen‹, zugleich ein Name für das ›3 Komma‹-Symbol des Tomoe-Wappens) weil selten als bemerkenswert.
The Book of Five Rings are words of wisdom from Miyamoto Musashi.
The greatest undefeated samurai warrior to have ever lived.

Musashi: "All battles are meaningless."
Kojiro: "Even this one?"
Musashi: "Yes even this one. We're just two monsters spending our idle time, nothing more."

Book: Miyamoto Musashi (By Eiji Yoshikawa)
https://youtu.be/mZXjksJLpAI
If you are a fan of Japan , Japanese history, samurai or just a good novel, then I suggest reading Miyamoto Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa.
It is a novelized recount about the life of Japan’s greatest swordsman & it starts out with (slight spoiler warning)..
..the ending of an epic battle! What I loved about this book is that it highlights the cunning of battle tactics of a swordsman at a time crossbows & hand guns were beginning to enter history.
Tactics on how to fight a group, when to draw a weapon, how to avoid trouble & how to engage close friends trying to kill you (yeah, it gets really crazy!).
This book is not without controversy as there are some scenes/events that take place where you will hate Musashi (I will not spoil that here).
But overall the book does a great job of humanizing a legend, one who mastered & popularized two sword fighting techniques (ironically in the middle of a battle! Sheesh!).
Sword fighting aside, there is also some excellent philosophy discussed, which I will not get into much here. A great read if you are into books—provided you can stomach the violence (there is a lot!!!).

Recently finished The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi - full disclosure: did the audiobook while walking the dog [https://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B00NLNQSMC&source_code=ASSORAP0511160006]
Many kernels of wisdom here applying to life beyond just sword fighting
"You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain"
"Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world"
