Every breathing style began with him. This 30 cm figure captures the legendary first swordsman at rest, never more dangerous: the flame-shaped mark across his brow, long dark hair falling loose, a deep red haori over his kimono and hakama, one hand loose on a gold-guarded blade.
Sculpted with fine detail, from the ribbed weave of the haori to the knotted white sash, it's a calm, commanding centrepiece and the natural elder to our Dance of the Fire God Diorama.
