==Life and Legend==<br />
[[Image: Miyamoto_musashi.jpg|thumb|right|Miyamoto Musashi – Possibly a self portrait.]]<br />
The famed swordsman Miyamoto Musashi was born Shinmen Takezo in [[Harima Province]] and may have fought at [[Battle of Sekigahara|Sekigahara]] under the [[Ukita Clan|Ukita]] as a common soldier. He makes no mention this (perhaps unsurprisingly) in the brief biography in his book, rather confining himself to his achievements in single combat. He claimed to have defeated his first opponent (a certain [[Arima Kihei]]) at the age of 13, following this up with a victory over "powerful martial artist called Akiyama of [[Tajima province]]." After [[1600]] Musashi drifted to Kyoto and became involved in a well-known battle with the Yoshioka School of swordsmanship, emerging victorious. He wrote that he engaged in sixty duels without suffering defeat once, and was noted in this regard for his skill at handling two swords at once. He was also remembered for employing a simple bamboo sword, which he used to deadly effect.<br />
<br />
Much of Musashi's life between 1600 and [[1640]] is the stuff of legend and some have postulated that he served at [[Osaka Castle]] ([[1614]]-[[1615]]) on the defending side, taking quite a few heads in the process. In a similar vein, he is sometimes said to have helped quell the [[Shimabara Rebellion]] of [[1638]] - a theory which, as with his glories at Osaka, is impossible to prove. On the other hand, many of the important events depicted in [[Yoshikawa Eiji]]'s famous novel Musashi have a basis in reality, to include his battle with the Yoshioka School, his defeat of the noted spearman [[Inei]] (chief priest of the Hôzô-in), and his duel in [[1612]] with [[Sasaki Kojiro]], another famed swordsman. Less well-known is his skill as a painter, his works including a number of self-portraits and naturescapes.<br />
<br />
Musashi the man must have cut a forbidding appearance: he was said to have rarely bathed or changed his clothes as well as suffering from a somewhat disfiguring skin condition. Following his duel with Sasaki, he seems to have focused his energies on perfecting his style of swordsmanship, spending much time in travel and reflection - thus epitomizing the much-beloved image of the brooding wanderer samurai.<br />
<br />
In 1640 Musashi accepted service with the [[Hosokawa clan]], and three years later, in [[Higo Province]], began work on his great book, Gorin no Shô (The Book of Five Rings). He finished this influential work on swordsmanship in May 1645 - the same year he died.<br />
<br />
Musashi has enjoyed an immense popularity in the 20th Century and beyond, largely as a result of Yoshikawa's novel (which was originally published in serialized form in the Asahi Shimbun). Musashi skillfully weaves fact and fiction together to create an engrossing tale that has experienced increasing renown in the West. Interestingly, the Asahi Shimbun noted in 1988 that at least one [[Edo Period]] source questioned Musashi's duel with Sasaki, stating that Musashi was not alone at the fight, and that his followers killed Ganryu when he had been knocked down to the ground.<br />
<br />
Musashi's own book, the Gorin no Shô, was quite well thought of in the United States during the 1980's as a glimpse into the Japanese mind, and was thus consumed by American businessmen - perhaps to the ironic amusement of their Japanese counterparts.<br />

<div>==Ryu Descriptions==<br />
What kind of description you want us to give kenjutsu and so on? You want to keep it brief (aka dictionnary desc.)or go as deep as possible?<br />
It's pretty much impossible to give a record history or origin of those disciplines. Baian<br />
<br />
:Best case would be a history, however brief, even if it is just who developed it and when, and what clan they were associated with, or what province, and then a short description of what the style entails, or what makes it "different" from others. Beyond that, I'm not much of an expert, but that's my best guess - so it might be useful to get more input at the [[SamuraiWiki_talk:Bujutsu task force|task force talk page]]. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 19:48, 24 November 2006 (PST)<br />
<br />
The priorities on the taskforce page are kenjutsu, naginatajutsu, etc. I wasn't referring to any ryu-ha in particular. What I meant is do you want a description of what is kenjutsu (and the others) itself?<br />
As in ''kenjutsu is the displine of the sword practice in various ryuha, blah blah blah...''.<br />
Not sure if my question is clear. --[[User:Baian|Baian]]<br />
<br />
:Ah, I see - for something like "Kenjutsu" I would assume we'd be able to build a fairly large article (although it would be general, like "Ninjutsu", "Karate", etc.), a description of what it is, what it means, examples, the history, maybe even contemporary Kenjutsu as well. It is a type of discipline, so there should be a lot of info on it. I'm up for more input, so I'll post a question on the task force page as well. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 20:30, 24 November 2006 (PST)<br />

==Users that need to be blocked==<br />
I looked through a section of the userlist to see what users had not followed the directions, and here's a partial list of those that need to be blocked: [[user:Xm4514]], [[User:XXVII]], [[User:Wolfpanzer]], [[User:Windwalker]], [[User:Wild tiger]], [[User:Wild falcon]], [[User:Vergo]], [[User:Vartal]], [[User:Vamo20]], [[User:Tudeski]], [[User:Toshu]], [[User:Tokyodog]], [[User:Toho]], [[User:Thralls]], [[User:The samurai]], [[User:TIKIDIXY]], [[User:Sweet.thang77]], [[User:Sverv]], [[User:Suki]], [[User:Stretch4859]], [[User:StreetsSamurai]], [[User:Slevin]], [[User:Sleepy]], [[User:ShowGun]], [[User:Nagaeyari|Nagaeyari]] 10:00, 11 January 2007 (PST)<br />

:I've added the contributor access controls, so rather than blocking users, you just need to update the verification stuff on the front page and make sure all the people who are already contributing get set up so they can continue doing so. Random people that sign up can be effectively ignored, since they can't do anything but read. --[[User:Kryo|Kryo]] 11:20, 16 January 2007 (PST)<br />

I created a Manga subcategory to Fiction Books and posted a test article. Looking through the books that have been added so far, there does not seem to be an established format for publication information. Has an official decree about this been made?
