Synopsis

A clip art celebration of the noble Samurai of ancient Japan, this magnificent portfolio depicts 117 military elite in full regalia. 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. Filled with insight into Japanese culture and art, this collection of royalty-free images will lend an air of authenticity to design projects in this genre.
