Because very little land was good for farming in Japan, wars over land ownership influenced the rise of the Samurai<\/strong>. \u00a0In the feudal system, Samurai <\/strong>or \u201cthose who serve\u201d<\/em><\/strong> were subject to a lord or daimyo, <\/em>and were very devoted in their support.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Bushido<\/strong><\/a><\/em> <\/strong>or \u201cThe Way of the Warrior\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>was an \u00a0important unwritten code of conduct for the Samurai. Seven Virtues of the Bushido Code <\/strong><\/a>were: Rectitude, Courage, Benevolence, Respect , Honesty, Honor, and Loyalty. Freedom from fear, duty, discipline, morality, self sacrifice, and sometimes vengeance were also common traits of the Samurai. Many of these codes are still practiced today in modern martial arts.<\/p>\n

The Samurai used lots of different swords. The\u00a0Katana sword<\/strong><\/a> was\u00a0a curved blade sword. In my Arborglyph<\/a><\/em> <\/strong><\/strong>monoprint below, I used an aspen tree bark marking that vaguely resembles a Samurai figure with the Katana sword. You also see seven<\/strong> circular shapes that could represent the Seven<\/strong> Virtues of the Bushido Code. Text in the background reiterates the various attributes of the Samurai and their codes.<\/p>\n

The Seven Samurai<\/a><\/strong>, <\/em>a classic 1954 Japanese movie\u00a0by Akira Kurosawa, <\/em>was a favorite of mine in college and it influenced not only my artwork, but endless other famous movies and Spaghetti Westerns. Again\u2026 the number Seven!<\/p>\n
