Vagabond

A manga about the historical life of one of the most well known Japanese swordsman and philosopher, Miyamoto Musashi.

Vagabond is a beautiful manga. Takehiko Inoue mixes finely detailed ink links with Japanese ink painting. His depiction of the famous Miyamoto Musashi is as equally complex as his varied art techniques.

It’s almost hard to imagine how the creator of SLAM DUNK went on to draw an acclaimed historical opus. And it’s also a damn shame that the series is on infinite hiatus since 2015.

Available in English from VIZ.
