NihontoNewbie Posted December 9, 2017 Report Posted December 9, 2017 Excellent read! Thanks for posting. Musashi was actually a very imposing figure for the Japanese at that time. Average height was 4’10 - 5’3. Musashi was 5’9 and powerfully built. Quote
Gordon Sanders Posted December 9, 2017 Report Posted December 9, 2017 Thanks Peter.. nice read! Quote
Okiiimo Posted December 9, 2017 Report Posted December 9, 2017 I found the article to be a bit wandering. It starts off with Musashi and ends with an indictment of a historian that applied western anti-gun sentiment to Musashi. I highly recommend “Musashi” by Yoshikawa. Kodansha publishes an English translation that is a compelling read. Quote
BIG Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Posted December 9, 2017 Read him some twenty years ago, and could not find the kick. Now came across some systemic and evolutionary articles and I am really impressed. Best Quote
