The five philosophy in Japanese Buddhism, godai ( ?? , lit. "five great") , derived from Buddhist beliefs. It is perhaps best known in the Western world for its use in the famous text of Miyamoto Musashi Gorin-no-sho ( The Book of Five Rings ), in which he describes various aspects of swordsmanship with assigning each aspect to an element.

Elemen-elemen
The five elements, in order of power, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void.
Earth
? Chi (sometimes ji ) or tsuchi , meaning "Earth", representing hard and solid objects on earth. The most basic example of chi is in stone. The stone is very resistant to movement or change, like anything that is strongly influenced by chi . In humans, bones, muscles and tissues are represented by chi . Emotionally, chi is predominantly associated with stubbornness, collectiveness, stability, physical, and gravity. The desire to have things remain as they are; resistance to change. In thought, it is self-confidence. When we are under the influence of this chi or "mood" mode, we are aware of the physical and sincerity of our own actions. This is a separate concept of energy-power, spoken in Chinese as qÃÆ'¬ (also written ch'i ) and in Japanese as ki , and written alternately as?,?, or ?.
Water
? Sui or mizu , which means "Water", represents the flowing, flowing, and shapeless things in the world. Beyond the real example of rivers and lakes, plants are also categorized under sui , as they adapt to their environment, grow and change according to the direction of the sun and the changing seasons. Blood and other body fluids are represented by sui , as are mental or emotional tendencies toward adaptation and change. Sui can be associated with emotions, self-defense, adaptability, flexibility, flexibility, and magnetism.
Fire
? Ka or hi , "Fire", represents energetic, pushy, moving things in the world. Animals, capable of moving and full of strong energy, are prime examples of objects ka . The body, ka represents our metabolism and body heat, and in the mental and emotional realm, it represents drive and passion. ka can be attributed to security, motivation, desire, intention, and exit spirit.
Wind
? F? or kaze , which means "Wind" represents things that grow, develop, and enjoy freedom of movement. Apart from air, smoke, and the like, f? can in some ways be best represented by the human mind. As we grow physically, we learn and expand mentally as well, in terms of our knowledge, our experiences, and our personalities. F? represents respiration, and internal processes associated with respiration. Mentally and emotionally, it represents an "open-minded" attitude and a cheerful feeling. It can be attributed to desire, ungodliness, evasion, benevolence, mercy, and wisdom.
Void (Aether)
? K? or sora , most commonly translated as "Void", but also "heaven" or "Heaven", represents things beyond our daily experience, especially things composed of pure energy. Bodily, k? represents the spirit, the mind, and the creative energy. It represents our ability to think and communicate, and our creativity. It can also be associated with strength, creativity, spontaneity, and creativity.
K? is very important as the highest of the elements. In martial arts, especially in fairy tales of fiction in which the discipline of combat is mixed with magic or occult, one often summons the power of Void to connect to the world's classical creative energy. A soldier who is completely in tune with Void can sense their environment and act without using the mind, and without using their "physical senses".

Representation of godai
The most current representation of the five elements, beyond martial arts and fictional references, is found in Buddhist architecture. Japanese rock lanterns as seen in Zen gardens and Buddhist temples have five divisions that represent the five elements, although five segments can be hard to see. The bottom, touching the ground, representing chi ; the next section represents sui ; ka is represented by the part that wraps the light of the lantern or flame, while f? and k? is represented by the last two parts, top-mostly and pointing toward the sky.
Another common symbol of the five elements is gorint? , a medium-sized stone tower used primarily in Buddhist temples and cemeteries. It consists of the bottom up cubes, balls, triangles, crescent moon and something that resembles a lotus flower, a form that also has the meaning described above.
