Budo Bite | Episode 08: The Musashi Industry [Miyamoto Musashi part III]

Miyamoto Musashi, the undefeated duellist, philosopher, painter, and… brand? In this episode, I peel back the layers of myth and marketing that have turned Musashi into an industry. From kabuki stages and tourist towns to management manuals and manga, his legend has been repackaged and sold for centuries. But where does the man end and the money-making machine begin? Join me as I trace the rise of the “Musashi Industry” and how fiction shaped history, how history fed the myth, and why, 400 years on, we’re still buying it.

Budo Bite is a mini-podcast series about Japanese martial arts culture. The series is envisioned as a digestible and diverse exploration of all aspects of budo—from philosophy and history to practice and culture that shape the Japanese martial Way.
