The Book of Five Rings (五輪書, Go Rin no Sho) is a text on kenjutsu (sword fighting), and combat in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645.

The modern-day warrior employs it as a manual of technique and philosophy.

Carefully adapted into modern English for easy listening.

Enjoy.

kind of out dated book for our time since it is all about how to use the sword on a battle but there are the way that warrior carries himself that seemed timeless and still useful

good book about a way of welding a sword
