What is the best translation of The Book of Five Rings?

Question

Accepted Answer

For most readers, the William Scott Wilson translation (2002) of The Book of Five Rings is the best place to start: William Scott Wilson's translation is the one I'd start with — the most readable, direct and alive, like hearing Musashi himself, while staying faithful to the 17th-century Japanese. This is where I'd start. For deepest reading, consider Thomas Cleary (1993). For most historical, consider Victor Harris (1974).
