The legendary duel between master swordmen Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro continues in the modern day in a series of 10 short web anime episodes designed to drum up tourism for the city of Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.
The series is entitled KITAKYUSHI PRIDE: 10 Duels, and it features animation by Kitakyushu-based company Manga Production COLT and character designs by Pixiv artist Yuu Yoshimoto. KITAKYUSHU PRIDE is sponsored by the Department of Public Relations of Kitakyushu City.
Each episode features Musashi and Kojiro competing at a landmark or activity for which Kitakyushu City is famous, such as playing soccer at the Kitakyushu Stadium or sampling the culinary wares of the Tanga Market. The entire playlist can be viewed at the official Kitakyushu City Youtube page here.
