Miyamoto Musashi: Samurai, Philosopher, Author

There was a two hour show about this man on History International this evening. What a man, he was.
Hosted by Mark Dacascos, good show. He basically walks in Musashi's footsteps........
Next time it airs, I recommend it.
Musashi is oft times referred to as "The Ultimate Warrior."
The link is to the Wikipedia entry about him.
