I PICKED UP A BOOK AT BARNES AND NOBLE THE OTHER DAY. (THE BOOK OF FIVE RINGS) BY MIYAMOTO MUSASHI. IT IS A DISCUSSION OF HIS EXPERIENCES AND FIGHTING TECKNIQUE AND WILL BE QUITE INTERESTING TO ALL THOSE WHO STUDY SWORD FIGHTING ESPECIALLY JAPANESE STYLE. THE BOOK IS A SMALL HARD BACK 8.25 X 7.25 IN , 200 PAGES IT HAS LOTS OF VERY GOOD COLORFUL JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINTS. IT IS IN THE BARGAN AREA AND PRICED AT A BIT UNDER $10.00 U.S. DOLLARS. I AM ENJOYING IT AND DO RECOMEND IT AS IT IS GOOD READING AND A GOOD QUALITY BOOK. I HAVE READ THE STORYS BEFORE BUT THIS BOOK IS WORTH GETTING JUST FOR THE NEAT PICTURES, PERHAPS I WAS CORRUPTED IN MY YOUTH BY COMIC BOOKS BUT I DO LIKE PICTURES.

THERE ARE ALSO TWO DIFFERENT SERIES OF MOVIES OF MIYAMOTO MUSASHI'S LIFE, ONE HAS 3 SEPARATE VHS MOVIES AND STARS TOSHIRO MIFUNE . THE OTHER HAS 5 DVDS , I DON'T KNOW WHO IT STARS AS IT IS ALL IN JAPANESE BUT BOTH SERIES ARE VERY GOOD AND WORTH SEEING.
