About this product

Product Information

Secrets of the Japanese Art of War is Thomas Cleary's translation of the seminal writings attributed to Yamamoto Kansuke (1501-1561) on Japanese martial arts and military service. A mysterious man of humble origins, Yamamoto distinguished himself in the service of the redoubtable Takeda Shingen (1521-1573), heir to a long lineage of warriors and renowned for having fought thirty-nine battles without a single defeat. Yamamoto was a career soldier and founder of the so-called "School of Certain Victory", from which the famous Miyamoto Musashi (The Book of Five Rings) emerged. His school developed the art of discerning situational combat advantage, so that the attentive warrior or general would commit himself to action only when success was virtually assured.

  • Light book with simple information

    A very basic book with little to offer. Quick read with interesting mix of tactics and armed combat diagrams. Has tactics that's available in both Sun Tzu's art of War and Musashi's Book of 5 rings. Nothing particularly new or original about it.
