Dead Person Impersonation: Matahachi tries to find that elusive "starting position from which I can become successful" by impersonating Kojirō, whom he thinks is dead. He's not looking for a mere contest of technique; he trying to test himself with fights where the fighters use all their spirit and all their ability to try and defeat the other.It seems as if the author or translator used this as a story telling device, that is, as the main characters matured and became wiser, so did the text and the way it was written. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in samurai culture and most importantly Miyamoto Musashi!

But be aware, as stated above, that there is a LOT of fluff and filler surrounding that which you are looking for.

As a fan of epic fantasy, I was surprised by how much this was right in my wheelhouse, and I think this should be better-known among SF fans. When he is barred from meeting (and challenging) a great sword master, Musashi promptly declares a battle between himself and the castle the master resides in. Now the Yoshiokas are fighting for their future, and Musashi must face his most difficult contest--in a battle that will change his life forever.
