John Lee Musashi Ichi Tanto

Miyamoto Musashi is recognized as one of the most remarkable samurai in Japanese history, having lived from 1584 to 1645. He is celebrated as the greatest swordsman in Japan. Musashi was a fighter, artist, and craftsman all at once. He developed his own fighting style, known as "Niten Ichiryu," which is still taught today. This style employs both short and long swords simultaneously. His founding of a school for tsuba (guard) making is unforgettable. His most famous and very simple tsuba consists of two oval rings.
