> Hm. How about Japan's most famous Samurai... Shinmen Musashi No Kami Fujiwara No Genshin, born in 1584? Poet, painter, and calligrapher. Author of the "Book of Five Rings". Sculptor and swordsmith. Completely and utterly undefeated in battle: to the point that he would only fight duels using wooden swords.

LOL (really). This is incredible! I was actually trying to be as obscure as possible (maybe I should have said LEFT_HANDED 16th-Century Warlord-Poet-er, FASHION DESIGNERS! But wait, then this delightful surprise wouldn't have occured, and the world would be a much sadder place. I love RinkWorks! Though, if I'd thought for a bit about Samurai I might have realized that it was actually fairly likely (but I would have no specifics). Thanks Wolfspirit for some fascinating information.
