Armored samurai warrior woodblock print poster

Samurai in armor poster, “WAY OF THE SWORD”

Standing on a wind-swept hill, a samurai warrior wears full lacquered armor. He holds a tall spear adorned with a banner that flutters in the gusts. Behind him, dark pines and bluish mountains unfold in successive planes. The title “WAY OF THE SWORD” accompanies this samurai poster, treated in the manner of a Japanese woodblock print. The lines are clean, the flat colors bold, and the composition conveys a sense of quiet strength and discipline.

A Japanese poster for an office or a dojo

Its powerful composition suits an office, an entryway, a living room, a bedroom or a dojo. In landscape orientation, it sits nicely above a low cabinet, a console table or a sofa. It pairs well with dark wood, rice paper, tatami mats, bamboo and light walls. You can combine it with other prints or posters of Japan. It is a perfect gift for a kendo, karate or aikido practitioner, a lover of Japanese culture or a samurai history enthusiast.
