8: A Song for the Peach Tree in My Master's Garden
Seven samurai will teach him what it means to be a warrior…one by one he will remind them of what they taught.
Young Miyamoto Musashi, who goes by the nickname Hachi, studies at the local samurai school of the Yoshioka’s. When he accidently meets his master’s daughter, Umi, in a forbidden garden beneath a peach tree, it’s love at first sight. They plan to meet again beneath the tree, but Umi never shows.
Driven by his desire to prove he is worthy, Hachi vows to become the greatest samurai who has ever lived to earn the right to see Umi again. As he trains under seven great samurai, he never forgets Umi and his desire to be with her grows.
When Hachi suffers a great betrayal, he is driven by his own sense of justice and the driving force of what it means to be a samurai while he searches for peace and tranquility.
A classic tale of devotion and revenge, Miyamoto will come face to face with his own destiny in this origins tale of his life.
