Eastern Army Ashigaru Kneeling Spearman--single kneeling figure (red armor, green clothing)
Similar to the, above but in the colours of the Eastern Army.
This Ashigaru Spearman (or Yari Ashigaru) is a foot soldier armed with the long spear (yari) that formed the backbone of feudal Japanese armies, especially during the Sengoku Period (from 1467-1603).
The Yari itself (Spear) was a long spear ranging from two to five metres in length, topped by a straight or cross shaped steel blade.
‘The Warriors of Bushido’
Bushido means ‘The Way of the Warrior’, and served as the strict moral and ethical code of Japan’s samurai class, which had its roots in the military traditions that began in theKamakura Period (1192-1333). These rules and codes were eventually written down and shaped during the peaceful Edo period (1603-1868) following the decisive Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. Here are the latest additions to this colourful and dramatic series of Japanese warriors that illustrate the Samurai and Ashigaru of that time and that battle.
Due to be released in SEPTEMBER 2026.
