The clear pool water is like a clear and cold mirror, reflecting silently.

Yoshikawa Eiji spent 2 years writing about Musashi Miyamoto. Many years ago, he turned over Inoue's cartoons several times. As one of his two favorite dramas of the times, I personally think that Takehiko Inoue's "The Odyssey" has gone beyond the scope of comics. I bought a new book "Musashi Miyamoto" and wanted to be patient and read the "Sword and Zen" of Musashi Miyamoto's inner world in Yoshikawa Eiji's book again. Musashi's thorough and serious attitude towards life makes him a Zen man who doesn't talk about Zen, and only in this way can we explain all kinds of scenery in Musashi's life.

Are the two peerless masters in the Battle of Rock Stream Island just for the first place in the world? Musashi should be full of ambition after defeating Kojiro, but why did he continue to practice the sword? Obviously, the best in the world is not what he and even Kojiro are most concerned about, but the acme of kendo is where a top swordsman is. Kojiro witnessed a more perfect sword with his life, but after defeating Kojiro, Musashi still has to spend the rest of his life to witness what "the most perfect sword in the world"-that is, the embodiment of the ultimate kendo.

Zen transcends everything in the world, but to reach this state, it must be a period of cold and bone-chilling exercise, so that the life of the Zen master has a Zen saying, "Before you participate in Zen, you can see mountains as mountains and water as water; Later, when I saw knowledge with my own eyes, I went into the place and saw that mountains were not mountains and water was not water. Now I have a rest place, and I see that mountains are mountains and water is water. The scenery. From frivolous teenagers to Zen with swords, and finally SHEN WOO didn't kill them, this trajectory of Zen is also reflected in Musashi's life. The real Musashi is not only a swordsman, but also a Zen master.

without a strong heart, people can never stand up.

if the goal is not high, people will never go far.

At last, the essay ends with the one-way street written by Musashi:

The one-way street has 21 articles, which are said to be written by Musashi in calligraphy, with a length of 97.3 cm and a width of 16.8 cm. It records Musashi's life creed.
