/=About======================================================================

| |

| Vagabound is Takehiko Inoue's manga adaptation of "Musashi", Eiji |

| Yoshikawa's fictitious account of Miyamoto Musashi's life. |

| |

| "Vagabond", like the novel "Musashi" that serves as its inspiration, |

| presents us with a fictional accounting of the life of Miyamoto Musashi. |

| Known as a "sword saint", he authored the legendary philosophical strategy |

| treatise "A Book of Five Rings". In addition to his sword-skills (typified |

| by using the Niten Ichi style of simultaneously wielding a short and long |

| sword), he was a noted artist. The real Musashi lived from 1584-1645. |

| |

| The Battle of Sekigahara reshaped Japan's power structure. In the battle |

| the Tokugawa faction challenged the ruling Toyotomi for control a Japan |

| that was in the process of unification. Tokugawa won a resounding victory. |

| Shinmen Takezo and Honiden Matahachi were survivors from the battle's |

| losing side. Now they are being hunted. |

| |

| Great manga, but read the book too, it's even better (/me have read it 3 |

| times, and thinking of starting fourth) |
