In our
admiration for this impressive person, philosopher, artist and craftsman we have put together this
John Lee samurai sword set "Musashi". 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 developer 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 likewise the
simple tsuba with the
two ovals.
The way of the warrior is to transform the anger, the anger, the aggression into something peaceful and fruitful. A female warrior preserves the big picture and in this sense is 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. "
