He fought and won over 60 duels, starting with his first at age 13. His most famous victory was against Sasaki Kojiro, whom he defeated with a single strike using a wooden sword. Musashi developed the “Niten Ichi-ryū” style, which focused on using two swords in harmony, blending physical skill with spiritual philosophy. Beyond combat, he also practiced calligraphy, ink painting and the tea ceremony, believing in the importance of cultivating the warrior’s spirit through the arts. ================================== Recorded, mixed and mastered at Black Lounge studios by Jonas Kjellgren.
