A chronicle of the life of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi.
Musashi, a name familiar to many, a legendary swordsman who has become one of Japan's greatest mythical and historical heroes. In addition to writing one of they texts of Japanese samurai tactics and philosophy, "The Book of Five Rings," he is also famous for inventing the Ni-Ten Ichi Ryuu style of two-sword fighting, perhaps the most obvious, recognised visual trademark of the samurai today. But even with so much academic study dedicated to Musashi's life, books, movies, anime and manga stories inspired by his legendary exploits and teachings, still questions remain unanswered. Musashi: The Dream of the Last Samurai attempts to answer one of these in particular - what motivated the great warrior to adopt and perfect his dual bladed style?
