Welcome to Litsy!

“Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death”.
I found this a bit of a bore, I‘m sure Kendo practitioners who have more relation to the Ways might get something out of it, but I don‘t think it‘s of general interest. The introduction which talks of Musashi‘s life and fights was somewhat interesting, although I suspect it leaned into fantasy.
You must practice. This you must research well.

Almost a pick, and I almost feel bad for the “so-so“, but it was quite specific to swords and sword-fighting for a good portion of the book. If you're ready to chop some limbs, this is a must-read!

Had to read this for orchestral conducting seminar. Why? I don‘t know. After reading it, I still don‘t quite know. As a philosophy book, I understand its value.

Absolutely a must-read, if you're a 17th century samurai. For all others, I'd skip this one.
