The iconic sword saint of Japan was clearly a genius, yet he was also a functional psychopath-ruthless, fearless, hyper-focused, and utterly without conscience. Shortly before he died, Musashi wrote down his final thoughts about life for his favorite student Terao Magonojo to whom \u003ci\u003eGo Rin No Sho\u003c\/i\u003e, his famous \u003ci\u003eBook of Five Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, had also been dedicated.

Each contributor has taken a divergent path from the others, yet shares the commonality of being a lifelong martial practitioner and published author. In this fashion you are not just reading a simple translation of Musashi's writing, you are scrutinizing his final words for deeper meaning. In them are enduring lessons for how to lead a successful and meaningful life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbout the authors: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBr.

He argues that \"no matter how different any two cultures may appear to be on the surface, they are still created by human beings, and as such have deep similarities.\" Nitobe believed that connecting Bushido with greater teachings could make an important contribution to all humanity--that the way of the Samurai is not something peculiarly Japanese, but of value to the entire human race. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With an extensive new introduction and notes by Alex Bennett, a respected scholar of Japanese history, culture and martial arts with a firsthand knowledge of the Japanese warrior code, \u003ci\u003eBushido: The Samurai Code of Japan\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential guide to the essence of Japanese culture.
