The way of combat. Talks about how it does not only rely on swordsmanship (physicality) but also the arts (primarily strategy).

About musashis later years. Wrote many texts which were passed down to his student maganojo. Died in a cave and was buried in his armour.

A bit more on Musashi’s “adopted” father, who allegedly taught him the double swords swordsmanship technique, although a lot of the information is debated among scholars.

Just started, lots of Japanese names that are confusing. Interesting how his identity was more than likely blown out of proportion, especially in early modern Japan when they were trying to heavily promote nationalism.
