A samurai in full lacquered armor stands beside a stalk of bamboo, the upright green stems and angled leaves giving the composition its quiet balance. Japanese woodblock prints of warriors like this one were popular in the 19th century, when artists drew on legends, battle histories and kabuki theater to create heroic figures for a mass audience. Bamboo, which bends in wind without breaking, was often paired with martial subjects as a emblem of resilience and discipline. The print's fine line work and flat areas of color reflect the ukiyo-e tradition, in which carvers and printers worked together to reproduce a single design in multiple colors.
