Wisdom from a Japanese Sword Master - Yagyū Munenori
------------------------------------------
💠 Yagyū Munenori was a Japanese military commander, a feudal lord (Daimyo), and a swordsman in the early Edo period.
💠 He was a sword instructor to the Tokugawa Shogun family.
💠 He was a great swordsman as well as a politician, establishing the Edo Yagyu School of Swordsmanship as the sword instructor to the Shogun family.
💠 This quotes come from the book "Heihō kadensho" (A Hereditary Book on the Art of War) which he wrote in 1632.
💠 In this book he consolidated all the battle experience he attained mostly during the late part of the "Sengoku Jidai" (Warring States Period), and his experience as a sword master and marial artist.
💠 One of his most famous battles was that during the Siege of Osaka in 1615, where he fought for Shogun Hidetada and killed seven Toyotomi soldiers who drew swords against Hidetada.
💠 The following year in 1616, he worked hard to settle an attempted rebellion by Naomori SAKAZAKI, who was a friend of his.
💠 The way he is depicted in stories varies according to the era and people's sense of values; from a political point of view, he is regarded as a person with a fine character and distinguished in both literary and military arts, devoted himself to peace; from a view point of genuine swordsmanship, he is regarded as a skillful swordsman.
💠 No matter how he was depicted in stories, he was consistently described as a strict person remarkable for both wisdom and courage; Munenori's image as an outstanding figure is commonly observed.

Yagyu Munenori needs to be as well known and respected as Miyamoto Musashi. After all it was he who taught Musashi and took his skills to their prime.
