They were the two most feared swordsmen of their age: Miyamoto Musashi, mysterious and introspective, and Sasaki Kojiro, arrogant and ambitious. In war-torn Japan, each was thrust forward as a hero of opposing sides . . . and began their final epic confrontation.
This classic samurai novel chronicles the real-life exploits of Japan's most renowned swordsman. Miyamoto Musashi, born during a time of civil unrest, is drawn to the pivotal Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, hoping to become a samurai without understanding its true meaning. After the battle, he awakens among the dead and wounded, and a reckless decision turns him into a fugitive, disrupting life in his village until a weaponless Zen monk captures him. The beautiful Otsu, who sees Musashi as her ideal, helps him escape, but he is soon recaptured and imprisoned. During three years of solitary confinement, he immerses himself in the classics of Japan and China. Upon his release, he rejects the samurai life and dedicates himself to mastering the Way of the Sword, realizing it requires more than brute strength. He develops a unique two-sword fighting style, challenging various fighters and learning from nature, his ultimate teacher. His encounters bring him success, but he also discovers that true mastery involves understanding the principles of peaceful governance. As he evolves into a reluctant hero for those he encounters, he ultimately faces his greatest rival in a climactic duel.
