Miyamoto Musashi vs 60 Tanegashima | The Real Story of Ichijoji Temple (1604) | Japanese History

Описание: ⚔️ In 1604, 21-year-old Miyamoto Musashi walked into the deadliest trap in samurai history. The Yoshioka School, humiliated after Musashi defeated and killed two of their masters, set up a nighttime ambush at Ichijoji Temple with 60-70 armed warriors—including tanegashima matchlock gunners, archers, and swordsmen. This wasn't a duel. This was an assassination. But that night, surrounded by gunfire and blades, Musashi drew his second sword for the first time in combat and created Niten Ichi-ryū—the legendary Two-Sword Style that changed martial arts forever.

💭 MYTH VS REALITY:
❌ MYTH: "Samurai thought guns were dishonorable and refused to use them"
✅ REALITY: Musashi lived his entire fighting career in the AGE OF GUNS

Born 1584 (41 years AFTER tanegashima arrived in Japan)
Fought at Battle of Sekigahara (1600) with thousands of matchlocks deployed
Fought at Siege of Osaka (1614-1615) with 300,000+ firearms involved
Never wrote that guns were "dishonorable" in Book of Five Rings
Survived Ichijoji by using TACTICS (timing, terrain, speed) not "sword magic"

❌ MYTH: "Musashi beat guns with pure swordsmanship"
✅ REALITY: Musashi survived by:

Arriving EARLY and identifying the trap
Using TERRAIN to block lines of fire
Exploiting matchlock RELOAD TIME (1-2 minutes per shot)
MOVING CONSTANTLY so gunners couldn't aim
Fighting through quickly before they could coordinate

❌ MYTH: "Two-sword fighting was planned and perfected"
✅ REALITY: Musashi drew both swords OUT OF DESPERATION

Surrounded by attacks from all directions
Needed simultaneous attack AND defense
Created the technique in the moment of survival
Spent years after developing it into a formal system


📖 MUSASHI'S PHILOSOPHY (From Book of Five Rings):
💡 "Do not have a favorite weapon" - Adapt to circumstances
💡 "Know the times and circumstances" - Understand context over technique
💡 "The principle of strategy is having one thing, to know ten thousand things" - Universal principles matter more than specific weapons
💡 "The way of strategy is the way of nature" - Be fluid like water
Musashi's Dueling Record:
🏆 Over 60 duels (some sources say 66)
🏆 NEVER DEFEATED in his entire life
🏆 First duel: Age 13 (killed Arima Kihei)
🏆 Most famous duel: 1612 vs Sasaki Kojirō at Ganryū Island
🏆 After age 29: Only used WOODEN SWORDS (never live blades again)
🏆 Died: June 13, 1645 (shortly after completing Book of Five Rings)
