In the early 17th century, Japan was witness to a samurai who was arguably its greatest warrior ever.  He wasn't just one of the greatest swordsmen in history; he was a philosopher, a writer, an artist, and, in contravention to the samurai code at the time, he was a vagabond.  Today, he is considered a saint of Japanese martial arts, and he has been portrayed in Japanese movies and books.

8 Principles of the Book of Five Rings | Miyamoto Musashi: Book of WaterMiyamoto 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textIn 2015, Fairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz finished court early enough to rush over to the Mindful Leadership conference in Arlington, eager to meet such great teachers as Roshi Joan Halifax, Jim Dethmer and Rhonda Magee. Sold out, said a front desk person. A woman overheard my asking what I could do about that, and she sold me her extra ticket. This conference was so good that it would have been worth flying coast-to-coast for such an experience. Learning applications of mindfulness to my life and work are very important. Among the best teachers for that at this conference was author of Awake at Work (and more) Michael Carroll -- currently with Global Coaching Alliance, and a student of such advanced teachers as Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche -- who immediately captured me with leading a grounding sit followed soon after with the story of a tollbooth angel who would greet people even at the most trafficked, sweaty and stressful times of day, hand them an M&M candy, and wish them a nice day. Michael bridges any gap between mindfulness and Buddhist teachings and applying them to the real world, including the rough and tumble of the workplace, and, in this episode, the courthouse. I should have known long ago already about highly accomplished samurai and Five Rings  author Miyamoto Musashi, but did not, other than hearing about Five Rings. In this podcast interview with Jon Katz, Michael masterfully relates the lessons of Musashi's masterful defeat of Sasaki Kojiro to its applications to our own lives. Michael is a life tourguide who helps reveal plenty, including lessons and truisms that are right in front of our eyes, but that we have yet to see more clearly. Check out -- and read -- his books and more here. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

Paul Martin is a Japanese sword expert who has worked at the British Museum and traveled extensively in Japan to study swords and armor. Martin's new book Japanese Swords and Armor covers 30 famous samurai warriors and their swords, armor, and other artifacts associated with them, from antique sets to modern treasures, each with its own historical and cultural significance. The book was originally published in both Italian and French, and will now be available in English from by Tuttle Publishing in Oct. 2024.He discusses the history and significance of Emperor Go-Toba, who was exiled to the Oki Islands but continued making swords there. The swords he made were marked with a chrysanthemum, which became the basis for the current Imperial seal.In this podcast episode, Paul Martin highlights some of the most notable pieces in his book, including a wooden sword made by Miyamoto Musashi and sword fittings attributed to him. Martin provided recommendations on the best places in Japan to see historical Japanese swords.Empeor Go-Toba was known for his poetry, much of it written while in exile on Oki Island. One particular poem involves the poet banishing the frogs from a nearby pond:"Frogs, croaking in the pond,Go away, banish your noise;In this world of sorrow,There is no need for your song." (translation generated from ChatGPT)This poem highlights Go-Toba's despair and the heavy burden of his exile. The imagery of banishing the frogs from the pond serves as a metaphor for his own banishment and desire for peace amidst his suffering.Paul also talks about the beginning lines of the Tale of the Heike, an epic that recounts the history of the late Heian period, including the life and exile of Go-Toba“The sound of the Gion Shoja temple bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that to flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure, like a passing dream on a night in spring; the mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.” Helen Craig McCulloughLastly, Paul's favorite books are:1. They Came to Japan by Michael Cooper, a collection of Jesuit records from the 17th century.2. The Tale of the Heike, (version translated by Helen Craig McCullough) a classic Japanese epic poem that reflects the concept of impermanence.“The sound of the Gion Shoja temple bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that to flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure, like a passing dream on a night in spring; the mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.” Helen Craig McCullough3. The documentary "The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On" by Kazuo Hara, which explores the ambiguities of Japanese culture and the horrors of war.Be sure to pick up his book: Japanese Swords and Armor: Masterpieces from Thirty of Japan's Most Famous Samurai Warriors (Tuttle, Oct. 2024)You can follow Paul Martin by clicking on the following links:Website: The Japanese Sword (thejapanesesword.com)YouTube: Paul Martin: The Japanese SwordFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The.Japanese.SwordInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejapanesesword/Twitter: @thejapaneseswrd (https://x.com/thejapaneseswrd)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejapanesesword/ The Books on Asia Podcast is sponsored by Stone Bridge Press.

A reading and commentary of Dr. Edwin Vieira's By Tyranny Out of Necessity: The Bastardy of Martial Law, Chapter 3, Part 3. We delve into the intricate interplay of mindset, martial art, and the science of political-economy to address the problem of monopoly cartels that are undermining good governance and the livelihood of ordinary citizens. Through the lens of samurai philosophy, particularly insights from Miyamoto Musashi's "Book of Five Rings," we'll explore how every challenge presents an opportunity for victory. From the erosion of individual liberties, debasement of the currency, and social degeneracy to international conflict, together we'll uncover the silver lining that is always available in every dark cloud in the form of actionable solutions rooted in personal freedom, popular self-government, and local militia, that has the power to dismantle the perverse incentives of the political caste (politicians, bureaucrats, technocrats, and oligarchs). Embrace the mindset of an empowered individual, build the community of enlightened warriors, and help secure a more prosperous world with sound money, free markets, and private property.

In this episode, we delve into the teachings of Miyamoto Musashi to uncover the roots of stress, anxiety, and lack of productivity. Musashi advises perceiving beyond what is immediately visible, urging us to identify underlying fears and insecurities that fuel our overthinking. He emphasizes that there is more than one path to success and warns against fixating on a single solution. Adaptability is crucial in resolving conflicts between inner desires and outer expectations. Musashi encourages focusing on personal aspirations rather than societal constructs, highlighting the importance of prioritizing tasks that genuinely serve us, avoiding distractions from relationships, media, and social drama. Musashi's philosophy underscores the importance of living in the present and maximizing each day. He advocates for conquering today's challenges as a victory over oneself, paving the way for future successes. Overthinking, he suggests, stems from impatience and an obsession with immediate results, which can detract from the journey. By balancing mind and body and taking each day one step at a time, we can overcome the distractions that hinder our progress and focus on becoming better versions of ourselves. This episode is a guide to channeling our energy towards meaningful growth and achieving our goals through patience and perseverance.

In the early 17th century, Japan was witness to a samurai who was arguably its greatest warrior.  He wasn't just one of the greatest swordsmen in history; he was a philosopher, a writer, an artist, and, in contravention to the samurai code at the time, he was a vagabond.  Today, he is considered a saint of Japanese martial arts, and he has been portrayed in Japanese movies and books.

Stelios and Josh discuss the wisdom of Miyamoto Musashi, the masterless samurai and undefeated dueler who wrote the Book of five rings.

“If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.” — Miyamoto MusashiEver since I started History on Fire, one topic has been the most consistently requested by listeners. Over the years, I received hundreds of messages asking me to cover the life of Miyamoto Musashi. That time has come. Here we go. Musashi has been the subject of one of the greatest bestsellers ever written, a novel by Eiji Yoshikawa that sold over 120 million copies. And yet, the story of his life is mixed with so many myths and legends that it's rather difficult to separate fact from fiction. He lived across the late 1500s and early 1600s, during the waning phases of the Warring States period. By that point, after over 100 years of on and off civil war, Japan was a country suffering with PTSD. Soldiers and civilians alike had all been exposed to insane amounts of bloodshed and brutality during the Sengoku Jidai. Musashi was born in the midst of that, so it's little surprised that his is a tale filled with intensity and violence. In this second and final chapter of this series, I'll explore some of the key events in the latter parts of Musashi's life: from the siege of Osaka to the Shimabara Rebellion, from his adopting sons to his grief over the death of his daughter, from his exploration of Zen Buddhism to his writing of the Book of Five Rings, and much more!

“All warfare is based on deception.” — Sun Tzu Ever since I started History on Fire, one topic has been the most consistently requested by listeners. Over the years, I received hundreds of messages asking me to cover the life of Miyamoto Musashi. That time has come. Here we go.

Soldiers and civilians alike had all been exposed to insane amounts of bloodshed and brutality during the Sengoku Jidai. Musashi was born in the midst of that, so it's little surprised that his is a tale filled with intensity and violence. In this first of two episodes, I'll dive in to make sense of the contradictory evidence available: from his childhood marred by a terrible relationship with his father to his possible participation in the uber-famous battle of Sekigahara, from his first duel to the death at the age of 13 to his conflicts with the Yoshioka family and with Sasaki Kojiro, and much more!
