Musashi Miyamoto

Me and my fascination with Japan, with old Japan to be more precise.... I can't help it. It must be because everything about it is so foreign, so different.

In any case, I have been looking into the history of this Samurai, and here it goes. From what I have learned, there are many holes in his biography, much is certain but much is not. Fascinating nevertheless.
Picture
MIYAMOTO Musashi was a swordsman born in Harima (Hyogo prefecture), and the founder of Niten Ichi-ryu School in the early Edo period. He is the author of the Book of Five Rings 五輪の書 (Go Rin no Sho) on strategy, tactics and philosophy, that is still studied today.
It is such a disgrace that such noble sentiments as honour, self-discipline and growth are used for the wrong causes: power, money, social acceptance... Everywhere in the world, in every age of human history.

Anyway, this is a further glimpse into a world that does not exist any longer. I have enjoyed it. How must it feel to wear a garment that is 4-500 years old so full of history? A unique experience without a doubt...
