«©NCSX» In the Vagabond manga, Takehiko Inoue recreated the glorified life and times of the swordsman Musashi Miyamoto as told by novelist Eiji Yoshikawa. On his travels, Musashi met and disemboweled many warriors and fellow sword handlers. One of Musashi's opponents was a dandy named Yoshioka Seijuro whose family ran the Yoshioka School for up and coming swordfighters. When Seijuro and Musashi duel, the match ends up with Seijuro's defeat due to a crushed shoulder but he gets to live. The rest of the Yoshioka clan however won't give up against Musashi and he eventually slaughters the entire Yoshioka family including an 11-year old named Genjiro. Since Seijuro survived a battle with Musashi, he gets sculpted into a polyresin statue from SQEX which measures 8.5" tall. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late April 2008.
