Musashi Miyamoto in history
Musashi Miyamoto was born in the Japanese Warring States Period, which was an era when swordsmen came forth in large numbers. Musashi Miyamoto was not only a great swordsman, but also left his works such as Mirror of War and Five Wheels Book for later generations. He had a decisive battle with the famous swordsman Sasaki Kojiro at that time, and finally defeated and killed Sasaki Kojiro, becoming famous in one fell swoop. Some people say that Kojiro Sasaki was assassinated by the Tokugawa family. However, because of his considerable influence in Japan, Musashi Miyamoto has never lost more than 60 times, so he has the saying that "Makita's gun is the sword of Musashi Miyamoto", and Musashi Miyamoto himself is also regarded as a great swordsman.

When Musashi Miyamoto and Sasuke Koike fought a decisive battle, Sasuke Koike was in full swing and claimed to be unbeaten. At this time, Musashi Miyamoto was just a little-known newcomer, and Musashi Miyamoto defeated Sasuke Komura, making Musashi Miyamoto famous in Japan. Not only that, Musashi Miyamoto also cut it into a wooden knife with an oar during the fight. This wooden knife is not Musashi Miyamoto's confidence, but was specially made by Musashi Miyamoto to restrain Sasuke Kojiro's hands. It is said that Musashi Miyamoto's wooden knife has nails, not a single wooden knife.

On the other hand, Musashi Miyamoto also received a lot of criticism in Japanese history, all because his victory was not only superb fencing, but also his tactics. Musashi Miyamoto once competed with Yoshioka Sholang and killed Yoshioka Sholang with a wooden knife. After the match between Yoshioka and Musashi Miyamoto, Musashi Miyamoto's swordsmanship can be well illustrated. Yoshioka's younger brother meets Musashi Miyamoto for a contest, but Musashi Miyamoto is nearly two or three hours late on a snowy day. When he arrived, Kiichiro lost his temper and was finally defeated by Musashi Miyamoto. Later, Musashi Miyamoto and Yoshioka Yuan Saemon fought in a temple. Yuan Zuowei sent a large number of troops to the temple, but Musashi Miyamoto secretly attacked and killed Yuan Zuowei's janitor, and finally escaped.

Musashi Miyamoto not only excels in fencing, but also embodies the typical thought of Japanese Warring States in troubled times, that is, by hook or by crook. Although this tactic will be criticized, it is undeniable that at least it is also an art of war.
