Dressed in lavishly detailed costumes, brandishing swords on their way to victory, these historically accurate figures commemorate the courage and honor of these centuries-old warriors. Many of the illustrations are based on the glorious art of nineteenth-century printmaker Kuniyoshi — considered to be the master of the warrior woodblock print — and his disciples.
