The Book of Wind and a call for open-mindedness

”In my doctrine, I dislike preconceived, narrow spirit. You must study this well.” This is what the Japanese swordsman, writer and samurai Miyamoto Musashi wrote in The Book of Wind in approximately 1645. These words might be almost 400 years old, but they still ring very true today and are especially applicable to ABOAGORA’s values of openness and open-mindedness. This begs the question of how much commonality is there between Musashi’s philosophy and ABOAGORA’s ideals, which is what ABOAGORA’s intern Julia Autio explores in this blog post.

Viisi sanaa maailmasta

Maa, Vesi, Tuli, Tuuli ja Tyhjyys ovat olleet vuosituhansia maailmaa kuvaavia universaaleja sanoja. Aboagoran harjoittelija Johanna Juupaluoma luki läpi Miyamoto Musashin klassikkokirjan ja pohtii tässä tekstissä, mitä nämä sanat merkitsivät 1600-luvun samuraille ja mitä niihin puolestaan sisältyy 2020-luvun Turussa.
