I must admit, I didn’t anticipate I’d be reviewing the next part of Musashi this soon, and certainly not while in the midst of what already promises to be a thoroughly busy few days where my writing is concerned.
I definitely see why it's mixed for you, I must confess I felt the same way haha. What is more is that I like the middle books and the last one best, with much of those writings being inspiration for Prince of Flames, along with two other books I've in mind.
Yoshikawa's strong as a writer but he did bloat Book 5 Sky a little in my view.
Heaven in the Buddhist conception has the same meaning as Void, which is basically Nirvana, and this connects with Musashi's path of the sword evolving into the path of life, goodness and virtue, as expressed in the agricultural arc
