Samurai with Lantern and Sword in Kimono - Kenjutsu. Like a poised tiger, the Samurai with his Katana (blade) waits patiently for his opponent to reveal his weakness; that is when the Samurai strikes. Kenjutsu is the samurai’s sword art which originated some 1500 years and flourished in training schools beginning in the 9th century AD. It has many substyles such as: Mijin Style, emphasizing leaping and running attacks; Muto Style, fighting without the sword until a sword is available; Nito Style, using two swords to fight multiple attackers, made popular by Musashi Miyamoto (17th century); Suio Style, standing in water with blade submerged so the enemy sees a bent reflection and is unaware where the blade will strike. Made from cold cast bronze with hand painted details, 8.75"H x 6.75"W x 4"D.
