On the beach of a remote Japanese island, in the year 1612, two of Japan's greatest swordsmen, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro met in what would go down as the greatest Samurai duel in history. But despite the Samurai traditions of honor and ceremony, this brutal fight will be won with highly unorthodox- and highly controversial- tactics.
By the end of the day, one of these men would be dead, and the story of their brutal fight, would go on to become the stuff of Japanese legend.
Don't miss this story of cunning, courage and skill in one of the most high-stakes one-on-one duels of all time, brought to you only here on History At The OK Corral : Home Of History's Greatest Shootouts & Showdowns!
