Vagabond Volume 4 Manga

Real-life figure Miyamoto Musashi was the most celebrated samurai of all time. The quintessential warrior philosopher, Musashi authored A Book of Five Rings, a theoretical guide to military strategy still used today. The path to enlightenment is an endless journey and to get there through violent means - by way of the sword - makes mere survival an even greater challenge.

Musashi endeavours to take on sword master Yagyû Sekishûsai, a man recognised by many to be the greatest swordsman of his time. Although Sekishûsai is far past his prime, Musashi still believes killing him will take him further along the path. Little does he know that going against a man of such depth and proportion means much more than just killing a seemingly helpless old man in his sleep.
