Cultural Influence
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:
“The beginning of Canadian cultural nationalism was not “Am I really that oppressed?” but “Am I really that boring?””
—Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
“If the contemplation, even of inanimate beauty, is so delightful; if it ravishes the senses, even when the fair form is foreign to us: What must be the effects of moral beauty? And what influence must it have, when it embellishes our own mind, and is the result of our own reflection and industry?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
