Miyamoto Musashi (宮本 武蔵; 1584 – 1645) was a legendary Japanese swordsman, philosopher, strategist, writer and rōnin. Musashi was renowned through stories of his unique double-bladed swordsmanship and a unbeaten 61 duel win streak. He was the founder of the Niten Ichi-ryū style of swordsmanship, and authored The Book of Five Rings and Dokkodo. He was also the owner of the legendary sword Musashi Masamune.[1]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Two centuries after his death, Miyamoto's sword was believed to be owned by some lord in the capital. However it was a forgery, the true blade having been found and kept as a family heirloom by the Saigo clan generations prior. At the time of the Boshin War, the sword was owned by Saigo Kayano, an incompetent samurai lord aligned with the Tokugawa shogunate.[1]
The Masamune eventually became a key target for the Templars, who tasked William Lloyd to steal it for Emperor Meiji, and the Assassins, who placed Nakano Takeko as Kayano's bodyguard to protect it. After Lloyd's attempt to steal the blade was thwarted by Takeko's protégé Shiba Atsuko, the sword was claimed by Matsudaira Katamori. The Masamune later fell into the hands of Lloyd during the Battle of Aizu, though it was soon taken back by the Assassins.[1]
