A swordsman, writer and artist who lived between 1584 and 1645, Miyamoto Musashi is a near-mythic figure in Japanese history and an icon of Japanese popular culture.

Miyamoto Musashi III: Birth of the Two Sword Style (1963)
In the third installment of Yoshikawa's novel Musashi (Kinnosuke Nakamura), things continue from the 2nd film at the end of battle, where Miyamoto continues on a mission of learning; with the introduction of his arch-rival Sasaki Kojiro (Ken Takakura); and lastly the large cast of characters rendezvouses for a fateful finale.
Miyamoto Musashi IV: Duel at Ichijyo-ji Temple (1964)
In the fourth installment, Musashi's potentially greatest opponent Kojiro (Ken Takakura) jumps in and out of the story at the oddest and most coincidental moments. As his great love Otsu (Wakaba Irie) has succumbed to madness. Musashi (Kinnosuke Nakamura) then sets off to beat the functionaries of a treacherous clan in an arranged duel. 73 against one. Boastful Kojiro watches, secure in the knowledge that only he is a worthy opponent.
