In our
admiration for this
impressive person, philosopher, artist and craftsman we have put together the
John Lee Musashi Ichi samurai sword set.
Miyamoto Musashi is considered the
perfect samurai in Japan. Musashi was born in Miyamoto, Mimasaka Province in 1584 and his
full name was Shinmen Miyamoto Musashi-no-kami Fujiwara no Genshin. Miyamoto Musashi is known to us today as the founder of the martial art style
Niten Ichiryu and as the author of the book:
Gorin-No-Sho - The book of the five rings. It is still one of the most important works on the spiritual path of the warrior. His famous design of the simple
tsuba with the two oval rings has also been preserved.
The way of the warrior is to transform the anger, the aggression into something peaceful and fruitful. A warrior preserves the big picture and in this sense is a peacemaker. The warrior becomes a valuable element of human culture.
Looking back on his life, Miyamoto Musashi wrote:
“When I was thirty, I looked back at my previous life. My previous victories were not due to my mastery of swordsmanship. Maybe I had a natural talent, maybe it was a godsend, but maybe it was that other schools were less well educated. After that I practiced the search for truth from morning to night, and when I was fifty I recognized the essence of swordsmanship. "
