    ▼Synopsis
    <STORY> On September 15, Keicho 5, a young man, Musashi (Takezo), whose life was ruined by the war in Sekigahara wandered around like a wild beast. Only his lover Otsu and the pacifist monk Takuan understood Musashi, who escaped from the hands of the Ochimusha hunters and turned against everyone. Then, a crisis loomed over Musashi as he fled into the mountains. At the same time, in the village of Jokyoji in Echizen, the sword prodigy Sasaki Kojiro, in his quest for strength, had defeated his own master, Tomita Seigen, and got out of the village.

    Musashi used unorthodox techniques like always turning up late for a fight to get into his opponents head. For this fight to do the unexpected, instead of using a samurai sword he carved a wooden sword on the way to the fight. His movements were not beautiful like Kojiro’s but were efficient and all that was needed to win. These were the two greatest swordsmen in Japan at the time, and this was the most hotly anticipated fight of that generation.

      1. Turning up late to upset Kojiro
      2. Irritating him further by taunting
      3. Countering Kojiro's Tsubamekaishi (which employs long katana) with a longer reached wooden mast, Musashi purposely stood in water to dull Kojiro's sense of length. Guy stood no chance.

      This was based on true events. Only in reality, Musashi was late because he got drunk. Someone lifted his sword and he fought with the oar he rowed the boat there with.

  • @seanbigay1042
    @seanbigay1042 Місяць тому +127

    Some things I'd like to point out, if they haven't been yet:
    1. Musashi was notorious for not coming on time to his duels. This didn't always mean he was late, though. At least once, he showed up an hour or to early and was thus able to reconnoiter the battleground quite thoroughly. He needed to -- if memory serves, that was the duel where he ended up fighting the entire House of Yoshioka. (Who had brought bows. And GUNS.)
    2. He spent the entire trip to the dueling site carefully carving that oar into a proper bokken. This was one reason Kojiro lost. Musashi knew well the length of Kojiro's famous sword, the "Drying Pole," and made sure his bokken was longer, giving him the advantage of reach.
    3. When Kojiro casts aside his scabbard, Musashi immediately declares that he's lost the duel. If he thought he was going to win, why did he throw away the scabbard he'd put his sword back in?

    • @Vipunen
      @Vipunen Місяць тому +4

      I think the use of the bokken could also be related to what the sword sharpener taught Mushashi in Edo. The sword he gave to Mushasi should not be taken into a pointless duel; a fight that is not fought to protect the weaker.

Kojiro was outplayed and spat chips. Musashi didn't scrub up or iron his Sunday best for the big show. Kojiro was incensed and spat chips. Musashi stood in the water so the sun shone in Kojiro's eye. Kojiro spat fries. Unable to excuse Musashi any longer, Kojiro threw his scabbard into the drink as he drew his hone edged, hand-forged steel plate thang not intending ta breathe again until a successfull conclusion to this fight arrangement ended discussion of his mom. Musashi suddenly beat the guy ta death with his longer weapon, a wooden boat oar.

      The problem with sword fights is that they're very fast and over very quickly. You'd have to be an expert just to follow the sword play and both these two were at the Legendary level of expertise. For the average viewer the actual fight would look like the two simply swung their "swords" at each other for a second or two and then one fell down dead. Luckily we had several "expert" witnesses who wrote down what happened. I'm told that the movie "The Duelists" (1977) is the most accurate in depicting sword fights, though European sword fighting had evolved to the rapier by the time period shown in the movie. UA-cam has several clips showing the fights if you're curious.

    The key to win is to stay at a distance(because his weapon has a longer reach but heavier and slower) and face against the sun. To keep Kojiro away and avoid being attacked on a quick approach move, Musashi intentionally stayed in the water with some depth so that Kojiro could not jump on him quickly. The reason he runs along the waterline and got Kojiro chasing him, is at that angle, Kojiro would face the sun, when he started to jump into the air, the sunshine would fog Kojiro's eyes. Musashi is really smart and took everything into his calculation to win this fight.

      Incorrect. Nin-shu were an independent warrior sect for several hundreds of years(it wasnt a 'job').

There is a wealth of research out there that you will be well-advised to expose yourself to but, in that same breathe, there is no shortage of false propaganda being spread from foreigners with strange agendas to paint a narrative of Ninja that fits a mold congruent to their particular societal class-structures for the mere sake of making Shinobi culture more palatable to their biased cultural sensibilities. It would serve you well to not fall for that nonsense. Peace...

      If that is indeed a perfect weapon, Musashi would use it for most of his fights. That wooden oar is just a part of his setup as he knows he would not be able to win a duel with Kojiro when everything is equal.

    Several minutes of shouting juvenile insults at each other before any of them actually tries to swing, followed by a stick to the nogging. Surely this was the summum of warriorlike refinement and intrinsically superior to a Western drunken brawl on saturday night, who would never have such chain of events. Indeed the Samurai should be regarded as superior.

    The whole idea of Musashi using a bokken carved out of an oar was so that it was longer than Kojiro's nodachi so he can outreach him knowing that Kojiro is used to nobody being able to outreach him since he uses a nodachi.

    The question remains as to why Musashi chose to use a wooden oar as a weapon in this duel.

    • @JordanClymer-fh3pf
      @JordanClymer-fh3pf 2 місяці тому

      a couple reasons- Kojiro was known for having a very long katana. It was Musashi's way to remove the reach advantage that Kojiro was used to having, therefore Kojiro would have to improvise a bit and be 'off balance' from his usual style.
      Also, Kojiro was a very proud man as you can imagine. To have a guy show up hours late to a life or death encounter holding a long piece of wood instead of a sword was extremely insulting, as if Musashi didn't take him seriously enough to bring his best. This scene does not do justice to Kojiro being probably damned near enraged by the time they began to fight, hence the throwing the scabbard into the water. Which is why the (actual, historical) fight was over almost instantly once they came at each other. Kojiro swung, Musashi countered by breaking his ribs and collapsing his lung with that big ass hunk of wood.
      EDIT: the smashed ribs/lung part may be inaccurate; I haven't done the digging that others here have. Could be incorrect; not sure.

    I've looked through this thread a little bit.
    book of five rings is one of those books that I read over and over again. But even when I was a kid I knew that it was just a dude telling tall tales. It's interesting that even in what is obviously a fictionalized depiction of the events
    So here's one for you mind. Sasaki Kojiro is supposed to be known as "the demon". The greatest of Japans sword duelist,right? Why is there no record of him existing outside of this book? Yasuike a foreigner, has more independent verifiable sources than the greatest swordsmen of Japan? Think about it.
    It's a great book. But it's fiction, guys. Stop believing that people from back in the days didn't make things up, too. They're still humans.
