Миямото Мусаши, само по себе си името е легенда в историята на Япония. Миямото Мусаши (Miyamoto Musashi, 1584 - 1645) e японски майстор на меча, превърнал се в легенда. Отсъства преди всичко каквато и да е информация за търсенията на Мусаши (истинското му име е Шинмен Мусаши но Ками Фундживаpa но ген Шин), впуснал се по пътя на меча, или някакво сведение за неговата индивидуална тактика. От друга стpaна, много трудно западният човек, бил той и познавач на японската култуpa, би могъл да paзбере стpaтегията на Мусаши и особено тази, която той описва в "Го Рин Но Шо" - "Ръкописът на петте пръстена". Днес името на Миямото Мусаши, майстоpa на меча, непознаващ поpaжението, е известно на всеки японец. Мусаши произхожда от стар самуpaйски род. Седемгодишен остава сиpaк и е приютен от чичо си, свещеник в будистки манастир. Там усвоява основите на кендо, или Пътя на меча. Едва тринайсетгодишен, въоръжен само с тояга, той побеждава в първия си двубой с опитен майстор на меча. Скоро Мусаши напуска стените на манастиpa и тръгва по пътищата на Япония. Старо кимоно и два самуpaйски меча били цялото му имущество, но това не му попречило да се превърне в живата легенда на XVII век. На шейсетгодишна възpaст се оттегля в планината Ивато, където в уединение пише "Ръкопис за петте стъпала". Перото на Мусаши се оказва не по-малко остро от неговия меч. Създадената от него книга надхвърля paмките на кендо и с основание се paзглежда като философия на победата. В почивките между отделните части на ръкописа Мусаши се отдава на рисуване. Тогава създава и знаменития си автопортрет, от който съдим как е изглеждал. През 1645 г. Мусаши завършва книгата си и малко след това умиpa.

Такезо бива арестуван и едвам спасен от смърт, след като се връща в селото си. Един монах го принуждава чете и учи, докато е затворен в замъка Химеджи.
След това, станал вече самурай, започва своето странстващо пътешествие.
After years on the road establishing his reputation as Japan's greatest fencer, Takezo returns to Kyoto. Otsu waits for him, yet he has come not for her but to challenge the leader of the region's finest school of fencing. To prove his valor and skill, he walks deliberately into ambushes set up by the school's followers. While Otsu waits, Akemi also seeks him, expressing her desires directly. Meanwhile, Takezo is observed by Sasaki Kojiro, a brilliant young fighter, confident he can dethrone Takezo. After leaving Kyoto in triumph, Takezo declares his love for Otsu, but in a way that dishonors her and shames him. Once again, he leaves alone.
A humble and simple Takezo abandons his life as a knight errant. He's sought as a teacher and vassal by Shogun, Japan's most powerful clan leader. He's also challenged to fight by the supremely confident and skillful Sasaki Kojiro. Takezo agrees to fight Kojiro in a year's time but rejects Shogun's patronage, choosing instead to live on the edge of a village, raising vegetables. He's followed there by Otsu and later by Akemi, both in love with him. The year ends as Takezo assists the villagers against a band of brigands. He seeks Otsu's forgiveness and accepts her love, then sets off across the water to Ganryu Island for his final contest.

5 Zen & Sword: Miyamoto Musashi was the most famous swordsman in Japanese history. His legendary exploits have been portrayed in many books and films. The most famous version of his life story was written by Yoshikawa Eiji, and formed the basis of the Academy Award winning SAMURAI TRILOGY starring Mifune Toshiro which is the version most Americans are familiar with. While that trilogy is a great introduction to the samurai, it omits much of the most interesting and important parts of the story.
The best and most complete version of the Musashi story was filmed 6 years later as a 5 part series starring Nakamura Kinnosuke and directed by Uchida Tomu. Needless to say, this has always been the most popular version of the Musashi story in Japan, with all the important developments and duels missing from the earlier production. This series also featured noted Yakuza star Takakura Ken in the pivotal role of Sasaki Kojiro, Musashi’s arch enemy, his last samurai role until 1994.
Alternately known as ZEN & SWORD, or UNTAMED FURY we have the entire series available on home video with English subtitles for the very first time.
Also known as UNTAMED FURY, this film starts as 2 survivors of the Battle Of Sekigahara struggle to escape. The two childhood friends, Takezo and Matahachi manage to get away, and are helped by a mother and daughter who rob the dead of their weapons and armor to sell for a modest living. When brigands come to take the women’s hoard, Takezo bravely steps forward and defeats them single- handedly. When he tries to go back to his hometown he’s hunted down like a dog by the victorious Tokugawa forces, and has to survive cruel treatment. This film introduces us to some of the main characters in Musashi’s life who are seen throughout the entire series.
Duel At Hannya Hillslide: Also known as DUEL AT DEVIL’S MASK PASS this film begins when, after spending 3 years of study in isolation, Takezo is brought before the Clan Lord and made a Samurai. At this time he receives the new samurai name that he is to be remembered for, Miyamoto Musashi. Now he travels Japan seeking to develop his sword skill, and goes to Nara near Kyoto to learn from the Hozoin Priests about their unique method of fighting with spears. Along the way he runs afoul of a group of ronin who have been terrorizing the area, and they must meet at Devil’s Mask Pass to see who will live. None of this is in the Mifune/Inagaki version of the Musashi story, though it is one of his greatest battles.
Enlightenment to the Two Sword Technique: In this film, alternately known as THE WORTHLESS DUEL, Musashi has just slaughtered the vile ronin and vilified the Hozoin Priests for their duplicity, when he sets off to challenge the most famous sword fighting schools in Japan, the Yagyu and the Yoshioka. As the great Grandmaster Yagyu Sekishusai is refusing to meet the young swordsmen from Yoshioka, Musashi comes along looking to challenge the masters of both schools. This is from another part in the book which was not covered at all in the SAMURAI TRILOGY, and is really critical to the understanding of Musashi’s development as a martial artist. When Sasaki Kojiro comes into the picture, the final element is there for the rest of the story to play out. But first Musashi must defeat Yoshioka Seijuro in a challenge against the successor of that famous style.
Duel At Ichijoji Temple: After defeating Yoshioka Seijuro in a match, Miyamoto Musashi has become a marked man. Countless people want revenge against him for a variety of reasons, and he is challenged by the Yoshioka family to a rematch, only since the new titular head of the Yoshioka school is a mere child, they can bring in over 100 skilled samurai to fight him in the most memorable version of the famous showdown with the Yoshioka by the lonesome pine tree near Ichijoji Temple. This is the most action packed entry in the series as should be expected. Unlike the whitewash given to Musashi in the earlier version from Toho, Musashi does not hesitate to carry out what needs to be done in order to win a duel against 100 men!
Duel At Ganryu Island: The final showdown between the two rival swordsmen comes on Funajima Island when Musashi has to somehow find a way to defeat the 37” long sword that his arch enemy Kojiro uses for his “Swallow-tail” cut. While the clan lord who backs Kojiro plans to ambush Musashi, the time is ripe for one of Musashi’s most famous tricks, that of using an oar to defeat the extremely long sword of his arrogant foe! But how can he escape the vengeance of those who are defeated?

Линк: (bgshare) ЦъкIn 1973, Shochiku Studios released Tai Kato's updated two-part version of Miyamoto Musashi, this time with Hideki Takahashi in the title role. Hideki was best known as a yakuza-eiga or gangster film star, including in Tai Kato's epic version of the classic Theater of Life (Jinsei geki: Seishun aiyoku zankyohen, 1973). Jiro Tamiya played Musashi's nemesis Kojiro in a subdued manner, & extremely pretty. Akemi is played by Mitsuku Baisho, best known as Tora's sister in the long-running Tora-san series. The director has a sardonic approach which, like Kohata in the 1954 version, refuses to romanticize Musashi. Tai Kato was not able to go so far as to have Musashi realistically vulgar in appearance; Hideki Takahashi is too andsome an actor for that, & more attractive still with long hair instead of the crew-cut of his gangster roles. Still, Musashi's spirit decidedly unrefined. He's not someone who goes from wild & naive to Zen purity. He is one hell of a mean bastard from start to finish. Titled Sword of Fury I & Sword of Fury II in the subtitled release, the dual film allows us to hear Musashi's thought processes as he faces opponents & develops his fighting style. The story itself is the familiar one, & it's really only the "attitude" toward Musashi that is strikingly different, apparently influenced by the popular "new" yakuza-eiga attitude which had been shifting from the chivalrous gambler seen in Japanese gangster films of the 1960s to the merely violent gangsters of the 1970s. In Part I we see the young would-be swordsman setting out to achieve greatness in war, achieving nothing because fighting on the losing side, & then beginning his long period of wandering & training, with the goal always in mind of his duel with Kojiro. Part II builds toward that great duel on Ganryu Island, with considerable focus on Musashi's planning & forethought as to how to gain an advantage. Rather than the Zen questor of Inagaki & Uchida's versions, we come to realize by watching Kato's film that this Musashi is a calculating, cold- blood trickster, scientific in his approach. This is close to the truth of Musashi's historical self, for he was an opportunist first & sentimentalist last.
