    Yes, I believe this is a Chinese-language site.

    I restricted my searches to Japanese language web pages only as this is what's relevant.

    There are no relevant google results for either "藩士誠" or "藩士生".

    I would be curious as to the kanji for "hanshi-sei" and so on, but somehow I expect it's only written in roman characters.

    That poor Zatoichi Ryu guy... He went about it the wrong way around, I think.

    I've read that Zatoichi drew some techniques (or the inspiration for them) from Muraku-ryu. I've never seen the style,...

    I would perhaps say that it is not a book that teaches you how to kill, but rather how to live according to Musashi's principles.

    Feel free to call me stupid for that, of course. I don't pretend...
