8 Principles of the Book of Five Rings | Miyamoto Musashi: Book of Water


Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman in Japan’s history, wrote his teachings of strategy in The Book of Five Rings back in 1645. This text is divided into five books—Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void—each teaching essential lessons on mastery. The Book of Earth teaches clarity and understanding. The Book of Fire reveals conflict and action. The Book of Wind warns against rigidity and narrowness. The Book of Void speaks to intuition and perception.


Lastly is The Book of Water. Water is formless, adapting to whatever contains it. It teaches how to flow; adjusting your stance, your spirit, and your technique to meet any challenge. To fight like water is to move effortlessly between offense and defense, to be calm yet decisive; concealing your intentions while reading those of your opponent. Miyamoto Musashi says: The battlefield exists wherever you are.


These are the 9 principles Musashi's Book of Water.
