Pour ce premier duel, mon adversaire était Arima Kihê, bon sabreur de l'école Shintô que j'ai vaincu. À l'âge de seize ans, je vainquis Akiyama, fort au sabre et originaire de la province de Tajima. À l'âge de vingt et un ans, je me suis rendu à Kyoto et y ai rencontré les meilleurs sabreurs du Japon. Je les ai rencontrés plusieurs fois en duel sans jamais être vaincu par aucun d'entre eux. Puis j'ai pérégriné à travers les provinces où j'ai rencontré plusieurs sabreurs de diverses écoles et bien que j'ai été jusqu'à avoir une soixantaine de duels avec eux, je n'ai jamais été vaincu par aucun. Tout cela se passa alors que j'avais de treize à vingt-neuf ans environ ».
