He looks better with hair... contrast this black & white pic' to the black and white pic' in your signature, he looks a lot handsomer in your signature photo.

Though I admit, every time I see that photo of him sheathing his katana, it looks to me like some sort of silly modern Japanese shaving cream commercial. As if he was going to say "Gillette: shaves even closer than Musashi's blade!" :hehe: :rofl:

Ready for the weekend, Bets'? :dancing:

The photo from Musashi... I remember reading the book as a teenager... that's pretty much how I imagined Musashi to look... he was supposed to look untidy, sort of like Zatoichi. :hehe:
