A tsukubai (Himitsu take niwa, Tilburg, The Netherlands), a hidden relation to Dokkodo from Miyamoto Musashi. Cover: Painting from maki-mono from the Tetsujin Nito ryu (collection author).

Kumamoto Enmei ryu, Tetsujin Nito ryu, Niten Ichi ryu (Miyamoto Musashi), and Nito ryu

Kumamoto castle was build by Kato Kiyomasa in the early 17th century. The famous sword-god (Kengo) Miyamoto Musashi, the founder of Niten Ichi ryu, Musashi ryu and Niten Ichi ryu (Kenjutsu) lived his last years of his life at Higo Kumamoto (Kumamoto-ken).

The weapons of Musashi are displayed at the Unganzenji temple.

Miyamoto Musashi Fujiwara no Harunobu (1584?-1645) Miyamoto Musashi is undoubtful the best known swordsman of Japan. The story written by Eiji Yoshikawa is fictional but very nice. In reality lots of the live-history of Musashi is not known. He was born in 1582 or 1584 at Mimasaka but also possible is at Harima. Already in his youth he was practicing with the bokuto (wooden sword) and probably learned a lot of his (foster) grandfather but he was also an autodidact and probably left-handed. His first dual was against Arima Kihei (Shinto ryu). At his 17th he fought in the battle of Sekigahara. After that when he was around his 21st he went to Kyoto to have many duels and one famous was against the Yoshioka ryu. At 1611 he defeated a famous swordsman of the Chujo ryu, Sasaki Kojiro from Iwakuni. He was at that time 29. Between his 13th and 29th he fought about 60 duels and won all! In the era between his 29th and 57th years of age we do not know anything about his life. When he was 57 he got work at Kumamoto by lord Hosokawa Tadatoshi. At that time (1641) he wrote his first work: Heiho Sanjugo-kajo (Strategy in thirty-five article; see text in this book). Three years later, at his 60th, he probably wrote (this is not sure) Gorin no sho (The Book of the Five Rings) at the Reigando cave. It was 1644. The original document does not exists anymore, there are only copies left. In many languages there are translations of this famous classic. At his 62nd year of his life he wrote Dokkodo (The Path of Aloneness), it was 1645 and soon after he died. There are some mysterious works of which is said that Musashi wrote: Heidokyo, Jitchi no Den and Goho no Tachi Michisho. But this is not sure. Musashi himself had over the last years only a small number of students in Kenjutsu and during his many duels he made the famous five Two Sword techniques (Nitojutsu) of which nowadays are five techniques in three surviving traditions: Todaha Niten Ichi ryu, Hyoho Niten Ichi ryu and Heiho Niten Ichi ryu (see Japanese text in this book). 4
