Aramushas design
Does anyone know what historically could have inspired mushas design?

- Aramusha's sword style is called Niten Ichi-ryū which was a type of Japanese swordsmanship invented by the legendary Miyamoto Musashi.

- Miyamoto Musashi who was also a ronin was known to wield two blades (the katana and wakizashi) during his duels and fights.

- The hat that Aramusha is wearing is called the "Kasa" (there are many types), it is a popular head wear worn by ronins to conceal their faces due to infamy (especially the ones what are large and has a downward arch to cover their eyes).

Ubisoft might took inspiration from those factors to make Aramusha. I could be missing some information, but it's the best I could give.

idk, but someone tells me that Musashi is the original.
Thing is: Musashi is also a guy uses 2 swords.
