Miyamoto Musashi - Go Rin no Sho: A Book of Five Rings (To Hold Down A Shadow) lyrics

Holding down a shadow is use when you can see the enemy's attacking spirit. In large−scale strategy, when the enemy embarks on an attack, if you make a show of strongly suppressing his technique, he will change his mind. Then, altering your spirit, defeat him by forestalling him with a Void spirit. Or, in single combat, hold down the enemy's strong intention with a suitable timing, and defeat him by forestalling him with this timing. You must study this well.
