I thought you'd like it! Vagabond is based on a famous biography of swordsmaster Miyamoto Musashi. The art is just gorgeous. Most of those scans are from the artbook Water, which I bought myself at Katsucon. The story makes a pretty good shounen manga, with lots of the "must get stronger" stuff going on. There's also a fair amount of political stuff. The bearded guy with the cropped hair in some of the scans is Takuan, a wandering monk - he's one of my favorite characters. The wild-haired young guy (also in my icon) is Musashi himself.
