Description

This handsome book and card set contains an illustrated full-color, unabridged edition of The Book of Five Rings, a 50-card deck of the text's inspirational teachings and an elegant display stand for the cards, all contained in a sleek gift box.

The Book of Five Rings is a classic Japanese text by the undefeated swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. Shortly before his death in 1645, 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.

The text has 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 kit includes a full-color illustrated edition of the original text of The Book of Five Rings as well as a deck of cards and display stand, featuring some of Musashi's most insightful teachings. These have been chosen for their relevance to our daily concerns and conflicts, allowing us to gain perspective and move through life with grace and power. On the back of the card you will find advice on how to apply to your own experiences.

This book and card deck is perfect for anyone wanting guidance and direction from ancient wisdom which has transcended the ages.
