A chronicle of the life of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi.

Musashi, a name familiar to many, a legendary swordsman who has become one of Japan’s greatest mythical and historical heroes.

Musashi: The Dream of the Last Samurai attempts to answer one of these in particular – what motivated the great warrior to adopt and perfect his dual bladed style?
