"Real-life figure Miyamoto Musashi was the most celebrated samurai of all time. The quintessential warrior philosopher, Musashi authored 'A book of five rings, ' a theoretical guide to military strategy still used today. But the path to enlightenment in feudal era Japan was fraught with peril. At seventeen years of age, Musashi--still known by his childhood name, Shinmen Takez�o--was a wild young brute just setting out along the way of the sword. In the aftermath of the epic Battle of Sekigahara, Takez�o finds himself a fugitive survivor on the losing side of the war. Takez�o's vicious nature has made him an outcast even in his own village, and he is hunted down like an animal. At this crucial crossroads in Takez�o's life, an eccentric monk and a childhood friend are the only ones who can help him find his way."--Cover flap.
"Rated M for mature."
