Samurai Art
Home >>
This is a section of our website dedicated to examples of Samurai Art, which can be represented by posters, paintings, prints, figurines, or even samples of calligraphy related to the samurai culture. Posters are probably the most popular and affordable articles of the modern world, but some of them can be from the old times and may not worth a fortune but still be more substantial collector's items.
Another example of Samurai Art is prints and paintings, which you can find in a smaller number than posters. They can be contemporary pieces, but some can be quite old, even for the several hundred years old. Paintings and prints can be made on a usual canvas, but for traditional Japanese items, they can be on paper, folding screens, silk and wood. You can find some rarities among them that can cost a little fortune.
One of the popular calligraphic examples of Samurai Art is a set of drawings of seven virtues that according to the Samurai code, each Samurai should follow. The virtues are: Honour, Courage, Respect, Loyalty, Benevolence, Truth, and Righteousness. The calligraphy samples are usually made in modern time, but from time to time you can see pieces made in distant past.
In the Samurai figurines sub-section of our Samurai Art section you can find both modern figurines and even toys and articles of the older days; the latter ones come less often though. Even in modern time, if you like Samurai culture, you can find nice modern pieces that you can put on your fireplace mantel or bookshelf.
When talking about Samurai Art mostly it would be referred to martial arts, but in fact high-ranked samurai were well-educated people much versed in poetry, calligraphy, and arts. It was not uncommon that samurai were sponsoring young artists and whole schools dedicated to different kinds of art. Samurai ruled Japan for centuries and Samurai culture was closely connected to development of arts in Japan.
