Maeda Toshiie--single standing samurai figure wearing tall gold helmet
Although he died just before the Battle of Sekigahara, Maeda Toshiie (1538-1599) was still one of Japan's most important Samurai generals and a major influence in creating the second most powerful clan in Japan during the 'Tokugawa Shogunate'.
In battle, he could be easily recognized by his tall distinctive gold helmet decorated with a mane of white horsehair over the 'Shikoru', an armoured neck guard attached to the rear and sides of his helmet.
‘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.
