Miyamoto Musashi Analysis

1701 Words7 Pages

No story remains entirely pure over the course of time. They often end up altered by various agendas through the years as well as through the distortions inherent in different mediums that seek not primarily to inform, but to entertain. All of this applies to the differences between the Miyamoto Musashi we know historically and the Miyamoto Musashi presented in more modern popular culture, specifically the films of Inagaki Hiroshi. Over time, various movements in Japan from the 17th to 20th centuries altered the relationships and individualism of Miyamoto Musashi. All of Miyamoto Musashi’s relationships were altered in the Inagaki Hiroshi films with varying degrees of deliberation.

Within "In a Grove," the most significant perspective is held by Takehiko, the murdered samurai, because it is the most objective. Given his status as a samurai, it is likely that he would provide the most accurate and truthful testimony, especially considering that his account would condemn his murderer. After Tajomaru, the criminal who tied and bound the samurai and assaulted his wife Masago, releases the swordsman from his bonds, Takehiko describes how he then took his wife 's fallen sword and "stabbed it into [his] breast" (Senior
