Spencer and Josh are continuing the Samurai journey, this time with the first movie in the Samurai Trilogy. Musashi Miyamoto 1954 directed by Hiroshi Inagaki, starring Toshiro Mifune, and based off the book Musashi by Eji Yoshikawa. A film series I have always wanted to watch along with the Book of the 5 Rings. Miyamoto's own training manual of philosophy and life.

This here is the origin story of how a man named Takezo had to work his way up to the dream of becoming the great Samurai, Miyamoto Musashi. He gets himself wrapped up in the Battle of Sekigahara in the lowest position of digging trenches and doing grunt work. Though he survives, he ends up being betrayed by his best friend and hometown, forcing him to fight for his survival using nothing more than a wooden sword. But through it all, a monk and a lady named Otsu help him on a training journey of 3 years to turn the wild boy into a samurai man! I'm totally looking forward to seeing where the sequels go from here.
