I picked up this seemingly out-of-print part one of five Pocket Books edition in order to work through the larger novel incrementally. Way of the Samurai is an excellent introduction to what I anticipate to be one of the great works of historical fiction (and an introduction to the historical Musashi himself). I enjoyed the window into Japanese history and culture, as well as reading what I suspect is the inspiration for much of modern martial arts fiction and popular culture (Usagi Yojimbo is a favorite comic of mine). The character Musashi's transformation is inspiring and a humbling call to self-mastery and discipline. I'm extremely eager to continue the saga.
