The Lone Samurai
By William Scott Wilson
Asked to name the best swordsman ever, most Japanese would pick Miyamoto Musashi, the famous 17th-century samurai turned artist who is the subject of more than 50 movies and dozens of books. But most of those focus on his superb warrior skills. This fascinating new biography by Wilson, an American translator of samurai literature, goes much deeper, seeking to explain what ultimately drove Musashi from sword-fighting to Zen teachings, ink paintings and writing. He literally embodies the adage "the pen is mightier than the sword."
--Hideko Takayama
