Hosokawa assented, and set the time and place as 13 April 1612, on the comparatively remote island of Funajima (in the strait between Honshu and Kyushu).
Harada Mukashi and a few other scholars believes that Kojiro was actually assassinated by Musashi and his students- the Sasaki clan apparently was a political obstacle to Lord Hosokawa, and defeating Kojiro would be a political setback to his religious and political foes.
