The tumultuous life and widely romanticized Yamamoto Musashi, one of the greatest samurai, is told here with strength and pace. Many anecdotes very "local color" vibrate the string of Japanese exoticism: binge drinking to sate, fighting against a 50, matchisme a Japanese Shinto and legends, and a wealth of historical details. A super-production on the theme of Lonesome Samurai and one of the most leading and devouring books I have ever read.
