  • Video of locations where Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi spent the second half of his life. The video was shot during the summer of 2010. For more information about Miyamoto Musashi and the locations in the video I recommend viewing the following wikipedia webpage.

    Video was shot with the Panasonic PV-GS150 MiniDV Camcorder.

    Thank you so much for making and posting this video. I want to go to Japan so badly but doubt that I will ever be able to come up with the money. Seeing this really helps me get a feel for the area. I truly appreciate it. Musashi was the best.

    Thank you for this, I can't believe I only found it just now.
    I have been to most of those sites in my trips to Japan and also many of the locations in Kyoto (Rendaiji, Ichijoji).

      I have also visited many of the locations mentioned in Eiji Yoshikawa's novel, such as Sanjusangendo and the Male/Female waterfalls on the Nakasendo Way.

      @@AusS2000 I was back in Japan last November and stayed in Miyamoto Village (his birthplace). I also walked over the mountain to Hirafuku where he had his first duel with Arima Kihei. I had tea in Tatsumi Manor (where his step mother lived) and walked out to Shorenan where he lived with his uncle Dorinbo.

    It was an awesome experience. I've been to many Japanese temples and it was definitely one of the most memorable. Uganzenji temple is outside the city of Kumamoto and even today an exhausting trip to get to. I encourage only the most inspired to attempt the journey. I can only imagine what Miyamoto Musashi had to do to make the trip from Kumamoto.

      I got a very expensive taxi out there and started hitching back. It appears the concept of hitching is strange to the Japanese but I eventually got picked up by a builder who spoke very little English. I did gather from him that there is a second grave site called Nishi Musashizuka and eventually managed to find it.

      @@pizzulo81 Musashizuka is supposedly where he was buried upright on one knee. I heard a story that Nishi Musashizuka was where his sword was buried but I'm not sure of the validity.
      One thing you have to realise about how the Japanese treat the dead is that these days they are cremated and family members use large chopsticks to pick out some good bones and put them in an urn. So it's quite possible that his remains were later separated and some interred at Nishi.

      @@pizzulo81 the strange thing is that Musashi was running around Japan at about the same time Shakespeare was in England. Yet we know very little about Shakespeare other than what he wrote. Even the picture used to illustrate him is not actually of him.

    • @mlaity1
      @mlaity1  10 лет назад +1

      Sorry, I can't recommend a particular hotel there and I can't remember the place I stayed at. I would suggest finding a place close to Kumamoto Castle if that is what you want to see. The castle is amazing and well worth a visit. Sadly the only thing directly related to Musashi that remains in the area are the signs marking the places that used to be there (as seen in the video). Reigando cave is awesome too but I would recommend taking a Japanese friend/guide if possible. It is about a 30 minute bus ride from Kumamoto and maybe a mile walk from the closest bus stop? The bus stop is in the middle of nowhere... Seriously, take a Japanese guide who knows the area if you go to Reigando. Shimada Art Museum has some original art by Musashi too.

    Timing things with the tide may be a novelty to modern people. Most likely it was not so to most people in Musashis day, at least not anyone who'd had anything to do with the sea. It's just a primary concern for anyone working at sea, more or less governing what's possible to achieve ...
