Samurai Ronin--single standing samurai figure in red armor and green clothing
In feudal Japan, a 'Ronin' was a kind of drifter or 'wandering man', who had lost his lord or master and, in some cases, had also severed his links with his 'clan' or family.
According to the code of 'Bushido', the 'Way of the Warrior', a Samurai was expected to kill himself after the death of or rejection by his Lord and Master.
If one chose to live, then the 'Ronin' became mercenaries that guarded trade convoys or bodyguards for rich merchants, some even turned to... a life of crime!
Our Samurai Ronin is in an obvious fighting pose... fighting for which side... who knows...? Perhaps just fighting for himself!
‘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.
