The Shogunate | Miyamoto Musashi and The Book of Five Rings @TheShogunate | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Who was the real Miyamoto Musashi? So often we only see him as Japan's greatest swordsmen and duelist, but he was so much more. Musashi was philosophical, artistic, and lived a life way beyond his famous duel against Sasaki Kojiro. In this video we explore Musashi the man, as well as his many works he completed throughout his life.

The main source I used for this video was "The Complete Musashi: The Book of Five Rings and Other Works" by Alexander Bennett. Get yourself a copy here: amazon.com/Complete-Musashi-Definitive-Translations-Musashi-Japan%C3%86s-ebook/dp/B0796VXP8Q
