The story of Sasaki Kojiro and Musashi Miyamoto

Musashi Miyamoto (1584- 1645), a famous Japanese swordsmen, was a legendary swordsman in the 17th century, and was known as "invincible warrior". I killed countless people before I was seventeen, and decided to practice at the age of twenty-one. Before the age of 30, he fought against the master for more than 60 times and won all the victories, and finally achieved the highest state of "sword and Zen", which enabled him to win the final victory with the spiritual sword in the competition of Ada Island in the face of Sasaki Kojiro's superb fencing and strength, and became the best player in the world. He is famous in the world for The Art of War by Sun Tzu and Two Days First Class (also known as Two Knives Stream). Bao Zheng died on May 19th in the second year (1645) at the age of 62. Musashi Miyamoto is famous for its decisive battle with Sasaki Kojiro.

At that time, Kojiro's reputation was in full swing, so-called unbeaten, and Musashi was just a nameless boy. The duel was held in Ada Island at noon. Kojiro arrived early, but Musashi hasn't appeared yet. Seeing that the sun has set, Musashi is sitting leisurely on the boat and appearing in the line of sight. Kojiro, already impatient, didn't accuse Musashi of breaking his word, pulled out his knife, threw away his scabbard and rushed to the shore on foot. Musashi Miyamoto stood up unhurriedly and said, "Kojiro will fail!" I also jumped ashore, and the result was expected. Musashi is a shoo-in It is said that before the duel, Musashi said: "The knife and scabbard are a whole, but you threw away the scabbard, which shows that you are far from reaching the highest level!"

Kojiro was speechless. This seems a bit overwhelming, because in fact, most Japanese swordsmen don't wear scabbard in battle, but wearing scabbard is an obstacle, and Musashi is the creator of Erdaoliu.

After the duel, Kojiro was seriously injured. He struggled and said, "I'll leave you the unfinished business." And then I hung up. The unfinished business, of course, is to promote kendo. Later, Musashi traveled to Japan, held a Taoist contest, and created the Five Wheels Book, which was also considered "irresponsible".
