Miyamoto Musashi (Small Biography)


                                                                              Self-Portrait de Miyamoto Musashi (1640)
    
     Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645), also known as Shinmen Takezou, Miyamoto Bennosuke or Niten Douraku (his Buddhist name), was one of the best and most famous swordsman in the world.
     He never lost a duel in his life, founded the Hyõhõ Niten-Ryu style of swordsmanship and wrote some books such as Go Rin No Sho (The Book of Five Rings) and Dokkõdõ (The Way to be Followed Alone), and others.
     Although he was one the best warriors in the world, his Philosophy, initially applied to the Marcial Arts, can be applied today to our quotidian lives (becoming a Philosophy of Life).
