This large-trim definitive edition with gorgeous textured design collects three phenomenal
volumes of the samurai-era masterpiece by manga legend Takehiko Inoue! Striving for
enlightenment by way of the sword Miyamoto Musashi is prepared to cut down anyone who stands
in his way. Vagabond is an action-packed portrayal of the life and times of the quintessential
warrior-philosopher—the most celebrated swordsman of all time. At 17 years of age Miyamoto
Musashi—still known by his childhood name Shinmen Takezō—is a wild young brute just setting
out along the way of the sword. In the aftermath of the epic Battle of Sekigahara Takezō finds
himself a fugitive survivor on the losing side of the war. Takezō’s vicious nature has made him
an outcast even in his own village and he is hunted down like an animal. At this crucial
crossroads in Takezō’s life an eccentric monk and a childhood friend are the only ones who can
help him find his way.
