Musha shugyo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Musha shugyo is a samurai warrior's quest or pilgrimage. The concept is similar to Knight Errantry in feudal Europe. A shugyosha (student warrior), after obtaining a certain amount of skill, would wander the land practicing and honing his skills without the protection of his family or school. Possible activities include training with other schools, dueling, performing bodyguard or mercenary work, and searching for a daimyo to serve.
