n medieval Japan there was something called Musha shugyō: a samurai’s path to mastery.
Here’s how it used to work. . .
A young man, wanting to become a samurai, embarked on a journey–like a religious pilgrimage, a rite of passage–in order to test his mettle, learn strategy, challenge other warriors in duels, and build his skill set.
