Miyamoto Musashi
Budo means war (bu) and -do (way) The way of War. When Musashi says "Way" he means Budo.
Musashi is considered to be a kensei or sword saint of which only a few have been so identified. In Musashi's esteemed opinion, a genuine warrior is a man of learning as well as a practical talented warrior (bushi) and the deft dexterous ability to write even hones the deft dexterous manner of wielding a sword.
