My Way of strategy is the sure method to win when fighting for your life one man against five or ten. There is nothing wrong with the principle "one man can beat ten, so a thousand men can beat ten thousand." You must research this. Of course you cannot assemble a thousand or ten thousand men for everyday training. But you can become a master of strategy by training alone with a sword, so that you can understand the enemy's stratagems, his strength and resources, and come to appreciate how to apply strategy to beat ten thousand enemies.

Could a manufacturing company such as Honda inadvertently betray Japan - and if so, would a consequence be war? 602 Brigade explores the effect of China invading Japan, where within weeks sixty million Japanese civilians are dead. The USA fails to intervene, with their President declaring the war a "local conflict". Six survivors in Kagoshima, now hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, head north to an obscure airfield in the mountains in the hope of finding a light aircraft and flying to safety. Meanwhile their courageous action in Kagoshima and their journey inspires thousands of vengeful civilian refugees to head in the same direction. Survival against the odds, betrayal, death and precious little glory. Who will lose their sanity first - the petite fifteen-year-old schoolgirl, the inexperienced pilot, or the last surviving garrison defenders?

"D'autres pensent qu'étudier la Voie de la tactique ne peut servir à rien au moment où l'on en a besoin. S'il en est ainsi, il faut alors s'exercer à la tactique de telle façon qu'elle soit utile à n'importe quel moment et il faut l'enseigner de telle manière qu'elle soit applicable à tous les domaines. C'est en cela que consiste la vraie Voie de la tactique". -Miyamoto

El Libro de los Cinco Anillos (en japonés Go-rin no sho) es un tratado sobre el Kenjutsu escrito por Miyamoto Musashi en su vejez, durante su retiro de ermitaño.

"Even if a man has no natural ability he can be a warrior by sticking assiduously to both divisions of the Way. Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death. Although not only warriors but priests, women, peasants and lowlier folk have been known to die readily in the cause of duty or out of shame, this is a different thing. The warrior is different in that studying the Way of Strategy is based on overcoming men. By victory gained in crossing swords with individuals, or enjoining battle with large numbers, we can attain power and fame for ourselves or our lord. This is the virtue of strategy." - Miyamoto

Le Livre des cinq anneaux, également connu sous le nom de Traité des cinq roues est un texte de kenjutsu écrit par Musashi Miyamoto vers 1645. Musashi alors âgé de 60 ans se retire dans une grotte et se livre à un exercice d'introspection et de réflexion sur l'art du sabre japonais. Ce livre est généralement considéré comme un classique de stratégie militaire, à la manière du traité sur L'Art de la guerre par Sun Zi (Sun Tsu). Comme ce dernier, le livre des cinq anneaux de Musashi va au delà d'un simple traité sur l'art du sabre, les développements philosophiques du livre peuvent être appréciés par un auditoire non exclusivement réservé au pratiquant d'arts martiaux. De par ses éléments sur la guerre dans son ensemble, il est aussi un livre de stratégie militaire mais a également dépassé cette audience pour intéresser les hommes d'affaire dans la résolution de conflits. Le style à deux sabres fait de cet ouvrage un véritable manuel quotidien de technique et de philosophie dont le succès reste constant depuis des siècles.
