Also brilliant!

The suite also thrilling and subtle life romanticized Miyamoto Musashi. It is indeed a sequel to "The Peter and the Sword" and not a chronicle of the life of Hideyoshi (as I have read), already dead at that time. Moreover, this work of Yoshikawa is known as a single title in Japan: Musashi. We must devour the first reading and the taste slowly to the second is even better!
Be sure to read "The Treaty of Five Rings" or the excellent "Miyamoto Musashi" by Kenji Tokitsu to learn more about Musashi.
