What else can we learn from Miyamoto Musashi's life aside from his expert knife skills?

Question

Musashi's reputation as an exceptional swordsman has undoubtedly reached you. I wonder, however, what can be learned from him that isn't solely focused on his skills with a blade or combat?

Having been given (and read) Eiji Yoshikawa's book a couple decades ago by a Japanese friend, I am delighted by your choice of story for tonight. I fear I won't be sleeping though as I like your retelling too much.

I'm in Tennessee, I was stationed in Misawa, Japan for 4 years. Loved it!

Answer 10

I’ve read Five rings over n over. This was a great story. It got me excited about my day

Answer 11

Thank you for this. Ive been deep into feudal history for years and have read several books about the Miyamoto family, this was very good at making it feel like a 1st person story rather than a history lesson. Im not sure when I fell asleep but when I woke up to the sound of crackling fire it was an awesome comfy surprise.
