Miyamoto Musashi – the swordsmanship master highly praised by Jin Yong and Gu Long! Amazon's bestseller rating: ★★★★★! From one hundred feet to two hundred feet to three hundred feet, Musashi's figure becomes increasingly insignificant under the backdrop of the sky. A white cloud drifts by, and as the cloud passes, his figure merges with the sky. The Oyama Mountain, like a towering giant, coldly watches Musashi's every move. This book introduces the Zen monk Sazaan using an unconventional trick to guide Musashi, leading him to sudden enlightenment. Musashi's swordsmanship is invincible. He yearns for familial love but rejects it, solely pursuing the ultimate perfection of swordsmanship and humanity. He admires the solitary and elegant hermit Ishizuka Shuko, who himself had once wandered in the refined world of renowned artisans. At their silent encounter on the Five-Storey Bridge, it was the moment before the impending confrontation with Kiyokata Yoshikawa.
