Blurb: 
In 1605 the war between eastern and western Japan ended on the bloody battlefield of Sekigahara. The new Shogunate struggled to establish its power, and a leaderless samurai roamed the country. But from the great martial arts temples to the royal castles of Osaka and Kyoto came word of a single swordsmen challenging the heroes of the day. His name: Musashi, left for dead on the plain of Sekigahara, reborn under the guidance of a mysterious Buddhist monk, following The Way of the Sword and The Way of Truth. Beloved by women, acclaimed by men, Musashi"s enemies die at his hands. In the greatest epic of the Orient, this is the authentic story of a warrior"s quest for the ultimate honor - and the unforgettable saga of a glorious age.
