About the author










Miyamoto Musashi, swordmaster of the early Edo period (1603–1868), dedicated his life to reach perfection throughout swordsmanship. He fought and won more than 60 life-or-death duels and ended his career invincible. He left for future generations not only his fighting style but also the most important Japanese treatise on strategy, The Book of the Five Rings.

Maisy Hatchard is a Japanese-English translator who specializes in board and computer games. She also writes about indie Japanese board games on the site, Japanalogue.
