Takezo survived the battle of Sekigahara. Everyone around him didn't.

What follows is a life spent in pursuit of something he can't name: strength, maybe, or meaning, or the kind of stillness that only comes after you've fought everyone worth fighting. Miyamoto Musashi's journey from wild, bloodthirsty youth to one of Japan's greatest swordsmen, told with a brush that belongs in a museum.

Takehiko Inoue's Vagabond is manga as fine art. The Definitive Edition compiles 3 volumes in 1, presenting it in premium hardcover format, the way it deserves to be read.
