I have adapted this from a write-up I posted on E2. See my e2 home node. - Dunhamrc 07:11, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

DOD[edit]

Did he die in 1962 or 1972? The DOD at the top of the page is given as 1972, but at the bottom of the page it says he died of cancer in 1962. ???

1972 is a mistake. Thanks for pointing that out. Dunhamrc 18:42, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

characters[edit]

険 is "danger", and 剣 is "sword". Which is true?―219.173.119.42 07:33, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

剣 is correct. Another typo. Dunhamrc 19:41, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vagabond source[edit]

In the article on Vagabond, it's claimed that the manga is "by Takehiko Inoue and adapted from the fictionalized accounts by Eiji Yoshikawa of the samurai, Miyamoto Musashi", and the citation for the Kodansha Manga Award for 2000 cites Eiji Yoshikawa as writer for the series. But neither identify which works are the source. Can anyone clarify? —Quasirandom 22:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The best scenes from Musashi[edit]

Should The best scenes from Musashi be included in the English language works? It's one of the Kodansha English Library books meaning while it is in English it was sold in Japan has Japanese and English on opposite pages.

ISBN 4770022018 (Amazon USA and Japan)
Worldcat OCLC 22591760 and 46566174

While amazon.co.jp reports an April 1997 publication date it was first published in February 1984 per CiNii which also reports the translator as Charles S. Terry.^[1] February 1984 makes sense as this was the first book in the Kodansha English Library series. April 1997 may be a reprint date. --Marc Kupper|talk 08:48, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
