Conquer the water, master the land: Musashi's battle of the "swordless sword" now begins. In Volume 35, living in a poor village with the "child of the soil," Iori, Musashi trades his blade for a hoe and reclaims barren ground into rice fields. He has not abandoned the sword; everything he cultivated on its path now lives in the way his hands work the earth. But nature imposes merciless trials, and a cataclysm violent enough to blacken the sky strikes the village. Facing surging water and starved land, Musashi is asked for a strength that is not the strength to cut. A volume depicting a quiet yet fierce struggle to reach the "inner infinity" that lies beyond hardship.

Synopsis
Product-style summary (English)
Vagabond Vol. 35 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
Musashi's reclamation, blade traded for hoe, is itself training in a new kind of swordsmanship. His opponent is no longer a person but water, soil, and weather, nature that will not be tamed. Torrential rain and flooding sweep away the fields he tended in a single night, swallowing the villagers' hopes along with them. Here Musashi feels sharply that the logic of the sword, of forcing others into submission, means nothing to nature. Through his life with Iori, he touches the strength not of winning but of accepting and living alongside. It is within this bloodless struggle that the outline of the "inner infinity" he has sought slowly begins to appear, in a volume of transformation.
