John Lee Musashi Ichi Tanto

Miamoto Musashi went down in Japanese history as one of the most impressive samurai. He lived between 1584 and 1645. He is considered Japan's greatest swordsman. He was an artist and craftsman at the same time. His founding of a tsuba-making school is unforgettable. His most famous and very simple tsuba consists of two oval rings.
