Historical Fiction

If I were to write a piece of historical fiction, I would pick the Sengoku period of Japan as my background. I would probably try to integrate a famous traveling ronin in that time period named Miyamoto Musashi. I would pick the Sengoku period, also known as the period of Warring States, due to the extensive social, political, and military conflicts that dominated that time. This period is also known for having many famous ninja and samurai and is consequently filled with many great stories and battles that I would want to write about. Miyamoto Musashi's travels brought him to a variety of different places in Japan, so I think that he'd be the perfect person to follow in my historical fiction. With samurai, ninja, and duels all across Japan, I think that this historical fiction would definitely be a great action-packed read.
