Hell and Silence

The masterless swordsman Musashi Miyamoto wanders the country of Japan in solitude. Men seek his head for vengeance, men seek his head for glory. What Musashi seeks he cannot say. A man scoured of ideals and purpose, defining himself only by the violence in which he was raised. A decade of winnowing leads him ultimately to Kojiro Sasaki, faithful servant of the Lord Hosokawa and revered hero of the invasions of Korea. The two finest swordsmen in the country destined for the dawnlit shores of Ganryu island.
