I've read Eiji Yoshikawa's book abot him. I was young and stupid and thought I'll become a samurai one day. Now I've grown up, I realised a girl would have some problems in becoming a samurai :)

 

Well I do karate and I became sort of a samurai, an european one and with more soul :D

Women were Samurai, some of the best ones were like Matsumoto Ai.

 

I have the book of the five rings translated by Tomas Cleary. Personally I think he was a great dualist and man.

 

Take Care.

Go Rin No Sho - ah a great book! I wish I could find out who borrowed it and didn't return it??? However, his strategies and concepts cannot be truly taught in today's civil life. This premise of the winner is the "one" that's still alive... Although, it is the basic phylosify of the JKA and other similar traditional karate concepts - one chance to "Kill" using perfect technique and timing! :o

Miyamoto Musashi

Killing, as is most of the work, is a metaphore.

 

The work is as timely now, maybe even more so in these chaotic times...

 

Especially in terms of the three strategies.

At different times in his life he was different things. He covered a full range of persona from ruffian to sage.
