Miyamoto Musashi: Ichijōji Duel
He returned from a century-long duel with a knife in his hand.
Before the duel, he already knew he had to win, because his opponents were bloodthirsty, cruel, and frivolous, and he was generous and stoic and benevolent.
He was just a mortal, and his opponent was said to be invincible and invincible, and he used the longest sword in a samurai, the "Sunbathing Pole" up to three feet and three inches long.
Opponents have also thought about his possible playing style -- maybe, he will do some small kung fu, after all, this guy's physical skills (freehand fighting) are quite good. However, if he fought in this way, then he would undoubtedly lose, because despite the use of a three-foot-three-inch long knife, his martial origin came from the "Little Tai Dao" known for his dexterity. As for the opponent will bring a longer knife... This is impossible, because there is no longer a longer knife in all of Japan.
He returned from a century-long duel with his knife in hand—a wooden knife made of oars, four feet two inches long!
He made his own unexpectedly long knife, because it would turn his opponent's greatest strength into a weakness; he chose the twilight showdown because the sunset would affect the other's gaze. He behaved more frivolously than his frivolous opponents, and was so late that he almost gave up the duel, and the purpose of doing so was nothing more than to provoke the opponent's impetuousness.
He exhausted his opponents, surprised them, and used all the power he could use, even from the corners and corners. He won, and the blow in the air at the crucial moment was like lightning and thunder, and the long wooden knife smashed the opponent's skull.
His opponent died in a triumphant mood, Yoshikawa wrote: "He must have thought he had cut off the head of his opponent into the sea, so his mouth, which was constantly oozing blood, still had a smile on it." ”
In fact, what he cut off was only the red scarf tied on his opponent's head.
However, when he returned with a knife, he looked at the red scarf that had been cut off and fell to the ground, and his heart was thinking: "In my life, can I meet such an opponent again?" ”

This haunting "he" is the Japanese sword god Miyamoto Musashi. Described above is his final battle with his mortal enemy, Kojiro Sasaki, and before the battle, most people bet on Sasaki Kojiro.
In Japan, Miyamoto Musashi is an almost mythical legend. Miyamoto Musashi, whose real surname is Takemura, was born in 1584 in Miyamoto, Ohara, Hideta-gun, Okayama Prefecture, Japan, and was a swordsman of Japan from the end of the Sengoku period to the beginning of the Edo period, so that there is a saying that "the gun of Sanada (Yukimura) and the sword of Miyamoto". He fought with his opponents nearly seventy times in his lifetime, destroyed everywhere he went, achieved total victories, and was the ultimate samurai known to Toei.
Miyamoto Musashi once said in his later years, "Who can stop a young samurai from dying?" They can't hear, they can't hear..." Miyamoto Musashi is not a god-like figure. It was only through repeated tempering that Musashi slowly formed his own "Tao". The core of this tao is not the courage to fight, but the ability to control force and self. His practice was painful and distorted with a Japanese style, and although fruitful, it was more like self-exile, and Musashi had to say goodbye to Atong for the sake of so-called "cultivation".

Miyamoto Musashi's era was the most glorious era of samurai, and even the two-story building style of the shop had strict rules to avoid "lowly merchants" from seeing the top of the samurai's head from the window. However, this was also the last glory of the samurai. The smoke of gunfire has filled the Battle of Sekigahara, and the countdown to the era of swords has begun. If Miyamoto Musashi shines brightly, it is the most brilliant sunset at sunset.
In fact, the world is invincible and cannot defeat the musket, only Musashi's struggle to pursue the meaning of life is no different from people today.
