Who can stop the heart of the young samurai from dying? They could not hear it, and as soon as the sword of the gladiator was swung, they would hear the cries of the defeated.
When it comes to Miyamoto Musashi, many people think that he is just a game character, and even many people think that he is fictional, but this is a famous figure in Japanese history, and the film and television dramas based on him have also been filmed, leaving a deep impression on many people, and in Japanese society, Miyamoto Musashi has always been respected and believed, and has been named a hero in their hearts.
As a leader of the times, he became a prominent figure and was quite influential during the Sengoku period in Japan. He has a deep study of swordsmanship and martial arts, which is highly concerned. And he is a martial artist, who concentrates on the study of swordsmanship, is not close to a woman in his life, and has a paranoid obsession with swordsmanship.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Miyamoto Musashi in history</h1>
Miyamoto Musashi was born in 1584 in Miyamoto, Ōhara-cho, Hideta-gun, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. When I was a child, I studied the law of the flow of war with my father, Xinzhi Zhizhi. In his own account, he defeated the "Shindō" Arima Yoshibei in his first duel at the age of thirteen, defeated the powerful warrior Akiyama of the Ma kingdom at the age of sixteen, and went to Kyoto at the age of twenty-one to fight with martial artists from all over the world, from the age of thirteen to twenty-nine, more than sixty duels, without losing a single hand. And this also made him famous in the society at that time, after all, strength was the most powerful synonymous with the society at that time.
Among the duels of Miyamoto Musashi's life, the most widely known is the "Yanliu Island Duel", which is the story of the duel with The Swordsman Sasaki Kojiro sasaki in The Zhoudao Island of Nagato Province during the Keicho period. Most people believe that Miyamoto Musashi defeated Sasaki Kojiro in this duel, but in different versions, the object, character, and place of the duel are slightly different, and even whether the name of the duel object is Sasaki Kojiro is uncertain. It's more about being circulated as a variety of interesting stories.
He was born into a family of shoguns, and his father was a famous warrior at the time, so his father taught him martial arts at a very young age in order to build a career in the future, and fortunately, Miyamoto Musashi was indeed an excellent martial arts wizard, especially good at turning his kendo to the age.
So, as mentioned earlier, he was able to defeat many sword masters in a row, and even created a kendo with his own characteristics in his twenties.
At the age of 21, he challenged the Yoshioka family, the kendo family at the time. He first killed his brother in the family in a contest, and then his brother avenged him, but he was also killed. In the end, the Yoshioka clan became angry and could only attack them en masse, but fortunately, in the end, Miyamoto Musashi gained the upper hand, and the Kendo clan was defeated by his swordsmanship.
The victory over the "Yoshioka family" made people at that time gradually recognize this kendo genius, and his reputation spread throughout Japan. Many people want to defeat him to fame, but the unsatisfied Miyamoto Musashi has been studying hard, so it is difficult for him to meet opponents in kendo.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > is a kendo genius, but it is difficult to achieve in the political field</h1>
Miyamoto Musashi's life was at the ripening of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's unification of the world to the Tokugawa feudal system. This period was a period of japan's transition from war to peace, and it was also a period of swordsmanship and gradual entry into the search for the Lord. During the war, Musashi represented the growth process of the samurai's self-embodiment, while the Tokugawa peace period was a period of contradiction in the second half of Musashi's birth as an official and unwillingness to give up on himself.
The swordplay should not be the most difficult to put down is the sword in his hand, in the era at that time, the samurai had to talk about politics, and the swordsmanship family was naturally no exception. Miyamoto Musashi participated in the Battle of Sekigahara and participated in Ishida's Western Army, but the Western Army was defeated miserably, and he was not killed by the enemy and escaped. When Tokugawa Ieyasu finally made a move against the Toyotomi family, he entered Osaka Castle as a ronin, but was defeated, and he had to escape, and later after being introduced by a friend, he went to serve the Daimyo Hosokawa family.
Although he was a kendo master, he was not given too many opportunities on the battlefield, and repeated defeats also made this swordsmanship master give up his illusions and study his kendo steadily

It seems that Japan has a tradition of dueling, whether it is their novels or their manga, there will be dojos, and they will often challenge them as their own goals.
In his early years, Miyamoto Musashi was indeed an avid dueling enthusiast, but swords were often eyeless, and there was always a time to kill people. After the duel with Jiro Sasaki, he may have found out of conscience, or he may have some understanding, and when he decides to find someone to duel again, he only talks about swordplay and no longer indiscriminately kills the killer.
However, he was not content with the achievements of kendo and was bent on spying on the meaning of life. To this end, he spent the second half of his life and energy, through various trials and practices, and finally obtained a state of life in balance with his own desires after reaching the unity of sword and Zen.
In October of the 20th year of Kanei (1643), Miyamoto Musashi ascended Mount Higo Iwato in Kyushu (near present-day Kumamoto City) and closed the Reiwa Cave at the foot of the mountain to begin writing the Book of The Five Wheels. In the second year of Shoho (1645), Musashi referred to the two books "Alone Way" and the "Book of The Five Wheels" as the "Self-Oath" and gave it to his disciple Tera-ō Sun No. Yoshinō, who passed on the "Order of the Five-Party Tai-sword Road" and the "Thirty-five Articles of War" to Terao Asking for Horse Help Nobuyuki. On June 13, Musashi died at the age of sixty-two at the samurai residence in Chiba Castle.
And he has studied swordsmanship all his life, not close to women, perhaps it is the paranoia in the eyes of others that makes him have superior ability in swordsmanship and become a kendo master respected by posterity.
Miyamoto Musashi's influence in Japan was so great that there was a Miyamoto Musashi saying "Sanada's gun, Miyamoto's knife". He said to himself: "Yu studied swordplay since childhood, traveled all over the world, met various swordsmen, and tried more than sixty times, but never lost." "For the Japanese, such a figure is naturally their most precious spiritual source.

Watanabe Yukian, a disciple of Yanagi Munjo, said: "Yu was a disciple of Ryūsei Butma Shou Tsuneyoshi, and he had obtained secret permission. However, there are Takemura Musashi (i.e. Miyamoto Musashi), celebrities who have honed their sword skills themselves, and compared with Takuma, such as Go, the nine blacks are also stronger than Musashi. "He was not only admired by his contemporaries, but also passed on to future generations and remembered.
Moreover, his kendo and swordsmanship concept also influenced many people in Japan at that time, and perhaps the master often had the pain of encountering opponents, but Miyamoto Musashi used his own experience to tell the world the charm of kendo, and also let martial artists have a new understanding of kendo.
Perhaps the sword in the hands of the swordsman is the obsession in their hearts. Miyamoto Musashi, on the other hand, gave his life to the silent sword, but also let more people remember him.
