The Blade of an Artist

A short story about a young Sensei who carries a weighted past. A man who through his travels has seen and done many terrible things all of which haunt him to this day. He shows that the story of each individual is never set in stone though and the warrior wields the brush to their own destiny. They write their own story, paint their own image and through this may he come to find peace in the tragedies he has had to live through.
To teach the young people the art of the blade is to also show them the importance of the art of writing. The brush and the sword, two tools to change the very canvas of the world.
