About the Author
Miyamoto Musashi was born in 1584. Renowned in his own time as a swordsman and teacher, he fought and won 60 duels before his retirement. Shortly before his death, he retreated to a mountain cave to compose the work for which he’s remembered – a study of the arts of war. Musashi died in 1645 at the age of 60.
