The Way of the warrior does not include other ways, such as Confucianism, Buddhism, certain traditions, artistic accomplishments, and dancing. But even though these are not part of the Way, if you know the Way broadly, you will see it in everything.
Miyamoto Musashi

Pay attention even to life's trifles.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image

Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Do nothing which is of no use.
