of course she isn't one, she is the outlaws. polar opposite what would Samurai do.
He was a samurai lol
It is really crazy how you guys have no ideia about Japansese culture lol
Historians in Japan diverges if he is THE GREATEST SAMURAI in the Japan history but all of them agree that he was one of the most skilled and influential figures in the samurai tradition.
Book of five rings is one of my favorite things to read and essential for any martial artist.
?okey, he was. sure, with feather and ink
I don't get the joke.
He come from a samurai lineage... if I'm not wrong Fujiwara lineage.
He fought behind a domo (Toyotomi) like every other samurai.
After the war period he left and become a ronin (samurai without master).
Ask any Japansese if Miyamoto Musashi was a samuari lol
I'm not even sure why we are having this discussion... he is the most famous samurai in Japan.
Yes, he comes from Samurai lineage but his nature as a wanderer and focusing so much on art, writing and instructing others in fencing don't really fit the traditional idea of a samurai lifestyle.
Got a link to that book on amazon?
Is this the current edition?
Looking more into this now I want to buy this: https://www.amazon.com/Musashi-Epic-Novel-Samurai-Era/dp/156836427X
I think this fall and winter im going to be reading more lol.
That's the best one as far as I am aware and the one that I have.
The other book looks interesting, let me know if it's good!
I'm a bit confuse here... what is exactly samurai lifestyle?
Samuari is a social class based in lineage for most of the period in Japan.
The lifestyle you say probably is the Bushido code that was more an invention of 19th century.
They had some popular code of honor and rituals but it was dependent of period or domo/region you where.
After all who decided where if you had to follow these where you domo.
In war times... well a lot of things where not "reported" or took that "blind" eyes to everything happening.... at the end you where used as a hero samurai that followed all the code of honor not matter what you really did in the war.
The opposite was used too... if a domo wanted to get rid of a samurai after the war ended then he used that code of honor to basically put the population against you and forcing you to commit the famous seppuko.
BTW seppuko was a political "weapon" in the scheme of the things.
Of course I'm not saying that there is no samurai that followed the honor code... because some really believed it was something beautiful inside the social of these periods.
BTW you talked about the Mussashi's bood before.
Maybe you will like that study:

I just mean that traditionally Samurai class would serve one master and be granted lands that they would reside on and protect... Whereas Musashi's lifestyle differed greatly from that.I'm a bit confuse here... what is exactly samurai lifestyle?

Some Samurai’s lineages dual wield. Its just not common.
The lineage I train with dual wields but nothing is shown for years and years. Ive seen Kuroda Sensei’s son dual wield but never seen himself do it in public or videos. Others are different.
This isnt looking for realism tbh lol and Im sure the combat will be brilliant. Sucker Punch really surprised me with GOT from Infamous

Check out Shogun by James Clavell. It's what the recent series is based on. Not historically accurate but a very good read. Much better than the show.
Also Taiko by Eiji Yoshikawa. I found Taiko better than Musashi. It's, again, not historically accurate but is based on the unification of Japan.

It goes into more detail. You really see how Blackthorne struggles with their world and how to do things there. Hell, one of the best scenes was rushed in the show and doesn't even translate well into the story.it is better than the show?
