I guess that Inoue Takehiko has definitely seen this version of "Miyamoto Musashi". Don't look at it was taken in 1954. The picture is 100 times stronger than the current one. For the depth of field, layout, composition, and color of the picture, no one is not carefully arranged. The giant pine tree hanging from Musashi was shocking. In 1954, it was really amazing. On the screen, it almost perfectly restores the original novel of Yoshikawa Eiji. It is the version closest to the original. The plot is also restored by God. It's almost exactly the same. The most interesting thing is that, closer to it, is the manga "Rurouni" by Takehiko Inoue, which is almost the same as the one drawn.
The only flaw is the starring Mifune Toshiro. This is a personal point of view, let us discuss it. Because Toshiro Mifune is too old. It's not like a young Musashi at all. Not fierce. Compared to Nakamura's generous face, it's really not strong enough. Everything else is good, and the picture is full of oriental poetry. I saw the same dead tree in the scene many times, so I can adjust the composition very well. The absolute Eastern core on the screen. At the time, I believe it was definitely a super big production.
