Hattori Hanzō, the Shadow Warrior (Bac Ninh Miniatures) (Ronin)

on



Hello friends!

I invite you to Japan and meet the model of the most famous ninja - Hattori Hanzō!
Miniature again from my friends from  Bac Ninh Miniatures

Hattori Hanzō (服部 半蔵, c. 1542 - 1597)  was a famous ninja of the Sengoku era, who served the Tokugawa clan as a ninja, credited with saving the life of Tokugawa Ieyasu and then helping him to become the ruler of united Japan.
 He is often a subject of varied portrayal in modern popular culture. Hanzō was known as an expert tactician and a master of sword fighting.

       Among the most famous TV pictures is Shadow Warriors-Japanese television jidaigeki show featuring Sonny Chiba that ran for four seasons in the early 1980s.

       A curiosity and a nod to the character is a significant episode in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill", where we meet the master blacksmith Hattori Hanzō, played by Sonny Chiba - the same actor who played the Shadow Warrior many years earlier...

    Świetna czerń u pana Ninja, ale zaintrygował mnie samuraj z ulem w ręku. ;)

    Superbly done black - hard to get right and a very accomplished example of your brushwork here.

    Very familiar with this character and a fan of Sonny Chiba for sure! The Street Fighter series was a firm fav in my early 20's.

    Great mini and the blacks are just lovely. You are a master at getting so much depth to them.

    Może nie moje klimaty historyczno-japońskie, ale figurki przepiękne!

    P.S. W pierwszej chwili myślałem, że gość z prawej trzyma ul.
