Hmmmm Miyamoto Musashi, now there's a book I found really captivating.
When they did an English translation of "Go Rin No Sho" or the 5 rings it demonstrated just how disgusted he was of the samurai behavior and decided to write a sort of samurai instruction manual on how to fight, how to win and how to be the perfect servant to the lord and land owner.
Tell me though is it true that sword making in Japan was banned until a few years back as some modern day Politicians believed that they should forget their past and continue with the future ?
