Sounds like a hard and short life life for a samurai; kill or be killed. I love how you described his thoughts especially "empty bamboo cane, bent by the wind." Beautiful! Tip!

Thank you once again dear friend! Your tip is greatly appreciated! Well, I'm a karate player and I went recently to a seminar from a rinzai buddhist monk. It was interesting to know how the sword-technique used by samurai was a fine matter of distance..just a millimetre within the range of the katana and one of the two was starting the hit. That's also why their fights seem so static. No wonder that, with such a sharp way of fighting, knowing how to breath was vital ;-)
