The classic tale of the duel on Ganryu Island between Kojiro and Musashi.
After the Battle of Sekigahara, it had become clear that the 'age of swords' was over and it had become the 'age of guns'.
In the 16th Year of Keityo (1611), the Lord of Ogura Castle in Kyushu admitted Sasaki Kojiro because of his great sword techniques.
However, a group within the feudal clan which supported the use of guns considered Kojiro an obstacle to their goals and had the well-known Ronin, Miyamoto Musashi, fight him. Now, because of political gain and greed, two honorable men are to fight to the death on Ganryu Island.
While this story has been done many times, this version presents an entirely new outlook on the duel, as well as the relationship between the two master swordsmen.
