122 haiku for the great swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi.
I formatted my work with three sections for each haiku. You will read the English, notice the Japanese calligraphy, and finally, the actual Romanization of the translation. The translation I use is from Google Translate and is to the best of my knowledge, the proper rendition. As well, you can copy the Japanese and put it into Google Translate and listen to it being spoken. A further note: the 5,7,5 format in English is not to be confused with the same syllabic order in the Japanese tongue.

my sword is always
my soul leaps from its scabbard
in my self is truth
