Kanemaki Jisai is a featured character within the Japanese manga series Vagabond, in which he is a primary figure of the series' 'Kojirō Arc', raising Sasaki Kojirō from his very birth and training him throughout the latter's early adulthood. After being defeated and humiliated by former student Itō Ittōsai, Jisai renews his conviction to the sword after taking the life of a semi-feudal lord by the name of Fudo. From this point on, Jisai reopens a school of swordsmanship and unknowingly bequeaths all of his techniques to Kojirō through constant sparring with his pupil.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or influence:
“Quite apart from any conscious program, the great cultural historians have always been historical morphologists: seekers after the forms of life, thought, custom, knowledge, art.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“The example of America must be the example, not merely of peace because it will not fight, but of peace because it is the healing and elevating influence of the world, and strife is not. There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
