The Book of Five Rings is a sort of textbook for feudal era Japanese
warriors.  It was written by Japan's most famous samurai, whose name
escapes me at the moment.  Japanese businessmen took up reading it and
applying the strategies therein to business, which of course forced a
craze over here.  I've seen the book in a small nice looking hardback
for a fairly outrageous sum.
