Vagabond, Vol. 37
Eisner-award nominated creator Takehiko Inoue's critically acclaimed take on the life of Miyamoto Mushashi. Transcends the potential of what manga can be. Striving for enlightenment by way of the sword, Miyamoto Musashi is prepared to cut down anyone who stands in his way. Vagabond is an action-packed portrayal of the life and times of the quintessential warrior-philosopher--the most celebrated samurai of all time Musashi's battle with the forces of nature leads him to do something that would have been unthinkable for him in the past--he begs for help. In exchange for sustenance for a famine-ravaged village, Musashi promises to fill a position as a sword instructor in Kokura. But Musashi is reluctant to leave the village, and something still ties him to the land there.
Miyamoto Musashi & Shuriken
Miyamoto Musashi, famed for his two-sword style, was a master of Shuriken. Kanji Naruse, the martial arts researcher and instructor of Negishi School Shuriken, published his book 'Shuriken' in 1941. He devoted two chapters to discussing Miyamoto Musashi and his use of Shuriken. The first chapter of his surprising book discusses the origins of Musashi's Shuriken art and quotes various historical documents as well as the Okura Monument, a stone slab etched with a 1000 Kanji history of Musashi's life produced by his adopted son Iori. It also discusses Musashi's surprisingly influential connection to the famous Yagyu family and how a duel between Musashi and a member of the Yagyu family caused the Yagyu to develop new techniques to defend against an opponent throwing a Shuriken. The second chapter is Naruse's interpretation of the Shuriken techniques employed by Musashi in duels. The next chapters will look at documents related to the Chishin Ryu, New Learning School, a Shuriken school

Musashi, Ljudbok
Monumentaalinen seikkailuromaani Japanin samuraiajalta. Satoja miljoonia kappaleita myynyt klassikko on kertomus voittoisasta samurai Musashista. Se on ainutlaatuinen johdatus japanilaiseen sankariperinteeseen, mistä ei puutu muskettisoturimaista älyä tai robinhoodlaista oveluutta. 1600-luvun alun Japaniin sijoittuva teos kertoo maalaispoika Musashista, joka lähtee kotoaan vahvana, mutta henkisesti kypsymättömänä nuorukaisena. Hän pääsee opiskelemaan sodankäynnin taitoa kirjoista, mutta harjoittelemaan taistelua myös käytännössä. Musashin on kuitenkin nähtävä maailmaa ja opittava elämää ennen kuin hänestä voi kasvaa suurenmoinen miekkamies ja kansallissankari. Mutta voiko miekan avulla tuoda kansalle rauhaa ja onnea? Eiji Yoshikawa (1892-1962) on rakastetuimpia japanilaisia kirjailijoita. Hän kuvasi romaanissaan historiallista miekkamiestä Miyamoto Musashia, jonka teos Maa, vesi, tuli, tuuli ja tyhjyys kuuluu kamppailulajien harrastajien lukemistoon tänäkin päivänä. Musashi ilmestyi alun perin jatkokertomuksena Asahi Shimbun -lehdessä vuosina 1935-39 ja koottiin sittemmin muhkeaksi romaaniksi. Takehiko Inouen suosittu manga Vagabond perustuu romaaniin.

Complete Book of Five Rings
The Complete Book of Five Rings is an authoritative version of Musashi's classic The Book of Five Rings, translated and annotated by a modern martial arts master, Kenji Tokitsu. Tokitsu has spent most of his life researching the legendary samurai swordsman and his works, and in this book he illuminates this seminal text, along with several other works by Musashi. These include 'The Mirror of the Way of Strategy,' which Musashi wrote when he was in his twenties; 'Thirty-five Instructions on Strategy,' and 'Forty-two Instructions on Strategy,' which were precursors to The Book of Five Rings; and 'The Way to Be Followed Alone,' which Musashi wrote just days before his death. Read together, these five texts give readers an unusually detailed, nuanced view of Musashi's ideas on swordsmanship, strategy, and self-cultivation. Tokitsu puts all these writings into historical and philosophical context and makes them accessible and relevant to today's readers and martial arts students. Tokitsu

Musashi (A Graphic Novel)
A graphic novel version of the life of legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi. Miyamoto Musashi, the legendary samurai, is known throughout the world as a master swordsman, spiritual seeker, and author of the classic Book of Five Rings. Acclaimed manga creator Sean Michael Wilson has created both a vivid account of a fascinating period in feudal Japan and a portrait of a courageous, iconoclastic samurai who wrestled with philosophical and spiritual ideas that are as relevant today as they were in his time.

Over 350 years after his death, Musashi still intrigues us--and his Book of Five Rings is essential reading for students of all martial arts and those interested in cultivating a strategic mind.
