[edit] Clean up

Burning Flame, thank you for your contributions, and I hope you do not mind me cleaning up your language. Please do continue to help out expanding this article. I do have two concerns, though. First, what is "Honta-Ryo" meant to represent? Is it 「ほんたりょ」, or is it Honda-ryō (ほんだりょう), or something else? Second, I wonder if it could be made clearer which warriors are on which side. Reading about a battle between Kimura Shigenari and Ii Naotaka, or between Todo Takatora and Chosokabe Morichika, it is not obvious to someone unfamiliar with the subject, like myself, who is with Tokugawa (Eastern) and who with Toyotomi (Western). Thank you. LordAmeth 22:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Miyamoto Musashi

"History indicates that the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi participated in the battle on the Toyotomi side. It is unknown how he fared but what is known is that Musashi was spared by Ieyasu for unknown reasons." According to someone much better informed than me, writing in the Miyamoto_Musashi talk page, he in fact fought on the Tokugawa side. This would of course explain why Ieyasu spared him.
