Kumamoto castle was build by Kato Kiyomasa in the early 17th

century. The famous sword-god (Kengo)

Miyamoto Musashi, the founder of Niten Ichi ryu, Musashi ryu and Niten Ichi ryu (Kenjutsu) lived his last

years of his life at Higo Kumamoto (Kumamoto-ken).

MMiiyyaammoottoo MMuussaasshhii FFuujjiiwwaarraa nnoo HHaarruunnoobbuu ((11558844??--11664455))Miyamoto Musashi is undoubtful the best known swordsman of Japan. The story written by Eiji

Yoshikawa is fictional but very nice. In reality lots of the live-history of Musashi is not known.

He was born in 1582 or 1584 at Mimasaka but also possible is at Harima.Already in his youth he was practicing with the bokuto (wooden sword) and probably learned a

lot of his (foster) grandfather but he was also an autodidact and probably left-handed. His first

dual was against Arima Kihei (Shinto ryu). At his 17th

he fought in the battle of Sekigahara.

After that when he was around his 21st

he went to Kyoto to have many duels and one famous

was against the Yoshioka ryu. At 1611 he defeated a famous swordsman of the Chujo ryu,

Sasaki Kojiro from Iwakuni. He was at that time 29. Between his 13th

and 29th

he fought about

60 duels and won all!

In the era between his 29th

and 57th

years of age we do not know anything about his life. When

he was 57 he got work at Kumamoto by lord Hosokawa Tadatoshi. At that time (1641) he wrotehis first work: Heiho Sanjugo-kajo (Strategy in thirty-five article; see text in this book). Three

years later, at his 60th

, he probably wrote (this is not sure) Gorin no sho (The Book of the Five

Rings) at the Reigando cave. It was 1644. The original document does not exists anymore, there

are only copies left. In many languages there are translations of this famous classic.

At his 62nd

year of his life he wrote Dokkodo (The Path of Aloneness), it was 1645 and soon

after he died.

There are some mysterious works of which is said that Musashi wrote: Heidokyo, Jitchi no Den

and Goho no Tachi Michisho. But this is not sure.

Musashi himself had over the last years only a small number of students in Kenjutsu and during

his many duels he made the famous five Two Sword techniques (Nitojutsu) of which nowadays

are five techniques in three surviving traditions: Todaha Niten Ichi ryu, Hyoho Niten Ichi ryu

and Heiho Niten Ichi ryu (see Japanese text in this book).
