It’s the book and author the manga/anime vangabond was based off. I’ve read some of it and always thought it had a really deep message but haven’t deciphered it clearly. It’s one of those books that focuses on the theme of battle and uses it to relay deeper messages about life. Think of the art of war by Sun Tzu. Anybody who’s read it or might care to talk about it please use this thread.

Yes

I have had it for years but have yet to dive in

Peeps be stealing this book.

Guy has nothing to do with the manga version and most likely ambushed Kojiro. Would think twice before reading this because real life Musashi wasn't honorable as his fictionalized manga counterpart.
