Noto per i suoi innumerevoli successi militari, il leggendario Miyamoto Musashi era conosciuto durante la sua vita anche per essere un abile artista. Si dedicò alla pittura in particolar modo, ma tra le varie arti a cui si applicò, si possono annoverare anche la scultura, la scrittura, la produzione di oggetti artigianali di vario tipo come ornamenti metallici per le impugnature delle spade, e altro ancora. Infaticabile in guerra come con il pennello, tentò di incarnare durante la sua vita, l'ideale perfetto di guerriero, capace con le armi ma ispirato da valori più alti, provenienti dalla cultura letteraria e religiosa dell'epoca. La presente ricerca storica tenta di portare alla luce quella parte della vita di Musashi più personale e intima, ancora poco studiata e approfondita, la quale ce lo descrive come un uomo colto e un artista poliedrico, vivace dal punto di vista intellettuale, e profondo dal punto di vista spirituale.
