Is such a fearsome Samurai really afraid of a small bird? Another detailed piece which impressed me the first time I saw it and still does. I’m sure his well cut dress and weaponry is completely accurate. He stands out well against the well chosen background veneer which is not overly busy. Fine text/characters and just a little delicate scorching here and there.

I’m sure any paint brush would feel privileged to reside in such a magnificent Box! Every panel is a work of art in its own right and the craftsmanship is precisely what we expect to see from Alan. I would run out of superlatives describing it in detail.
