Who was the real Miyamoto Musashi? So often we only see him as Japan's greatest swordsmen and duelist, but he was so much more. Musashi was philosophical, artistic, and lived a life way beyond his famous duel against Sasaki Kojiro. In this video we explore Musashi the man, as well as his many works he completed throughout his life.
