Eer. Plicht. Wraak... De grootste krijger aller tijden valt uit de gratie en zint op wraak. Het vervolg op De erecode van de Samoerai Musashi Miyamotos reputatie gaat hem voor. Daar komt verandering in als Miyamoto en zijn kameraden worden verslagen tijdens de grote salg bij Sekigahara. Tienduizenden mannen blijven achterop het slagveld en het oostelijk leger eist de glorieuze overwinning op. Miyamoto brengt het er levend van af, maar moet zijn toekomst overdenken. Hij heeft altijd, trost op de eeuwenoude traditie, geleefd en gevochten als een samoerai, en volgt de Weg met eerbied. Maar na de nederlaag trekt hij alles in twijfel, en wat hij ooit zag als eer komt nu als onwetendheid op hem over. Maar de traditie is ijzersterk en hij staat slechts alleen. En hoezeer hij het verleden van zich af probeert te schudden, hij komt er niet zomaar vanaf. Miyamoto komt op de lijst van hen die de Yoshioka-samoerai beschaamd hebben, en er wordt een man op hem afgestuurd om in hun naam zijn hoofd te claimen. Dus moet hij, hoewel hij geweld heeft afgezworen, zichzelf beschermen en wraak nemen op hen die hem dood willen hebben...

For the sake of his master’s memory, Sand will kill to recover a magnificent sword Though useless in battle, the emperor’s katana is a beautiful weapon. Cast from solid gold, this 1,200-year-old blade was thought to be lost until Master Konuma, teacher of samurais, presents it as a gift to the people of Japan. Soon after, he is savagely murdered, leaving his American student, Robert Sand, to avenge his death. The sensei is gone, but the sword remains as a symbol of his generosity—until the day the katana vanishes. A madman snatches the treasure from the Metropolitan Museum, wanting the katana at his side as he makes a bid for world domination. Now it’s Sand’s turn to steal it back, and destroy the monster who dishonored his sensei’s memory. The katana is too valuable to use in a fight, but for its sake much blood will flow.

The Samurai sword of Japan is probably the finest edged weapon ever made. This volume by leading Samurai expert Stephen Turnbull reveals the story of how and why it achieved this distinction. Particular attention is paid to the development of the familiar curved blade from the original straight blades, the associated development of Japan's famous steel-making techniques and the challenges from contemporary warfare. Together with the technical details of forging, polishing, mounting and testing; this volume is brought to life with details of the great swordmakers themselves. Moreover, no history of the sword would be complete without a detailed examination of its use in combat, from the greatest Samurai armies to individual duels and revenge killings. Personal accounts allow the reader to discover the art of Japanese swordsmanship in the hands of masters such as Miyamoto Musashi to the unnamed Japanese warrior defending his family's honour. This lively text is perfectly complemented by artwork reconstructions of the sword in use and colour photographs of the swords in use.

In the epic historical novel Sword of Honor, David Kirk continues the saga of Musashi Miyamoto, the greatest samurai in Japanese history, as he journeys to the ancient city of Kyoto to fight for his life and his ideals. Having survived the cataclysmic battle of Sekigahara, which established the mighty Tokugawa Shogunate, young Musashi Miyamoto travels through Japan determined to proclaim his revolutionary epiphany that the "way of the sword," the ancient code that binds samurai to their masters, needs to be abolished. But during the battle Musashi insulted an adept of the powerful Yoshioka School, and a price has been put on his head. Musashi travels to Kyoto, domain of the Yoshioka, for a reckoning. He has taken up with Ameku, a beautiful blind woman branded as a witch; his burgeoning love for her will make him vulnerable. Mushashi intends to deal a crushing blow to the traditional samurai dogma by destroying the Yoshioka warriors, but Musashi will learn that his spectacular gifts with the sword are no match for the cunning of powerful lords. The wily Tokugawa governor, still struggling to establish dominance in Kyoto, sees in Musashi just the weapon he needs to overcome the rebellious Yoshioka. Sword of Honor seamlessly blends meticulous research, mesmerizing action sequences, and a driving narrative to bring this extraordinary figure to life.
