I am Japanese and I am living Japan. Everyone want to know the means Sawao said? so I will try to write what Sawao said. But I am just high school student yet. so I may cannot write English well and time is necessary for me. and..I may cannot write all. so I will write summary I do my best! I wish you are able to understand English I write. I study English hard more than now! I will come here again and write means Sawao said then. See you.

He was around long before these prints were made in his memory, however, looking him up *did* lead me to the artist in question, the one whose work I'd seen before and whose work I correctly assumed were a lot of the prints in this clip, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, who did numerous portraits of the warrior, and also taught the other artist I mentioned, Yoshitoshi. I have been trying to find this guys name on and off for years, thanks! Now I know who did that bad ass giant skeleton drawing.

I think one of the singers refers to Miyamoto Musashi, who was also a master swordsman at the time, and has since become legendary as one of the best swordsmen of all time. He was never defeated in battle or a duel, he established his own school and style of swordsmanship, and even wrote his own book upon the subject, entitled, "The Book of Five Rings" He also painted and drew many magnificent works of art. Some say that he is the best example for the Japanese, in the way of Warrior Poets.

I know they're ukiyoe woodblock prints, I mean from when, and by who. The edo period covers about 300 years, if I remember right, but I think it comes after that, from 1860-1900. I recently came across an artist named Yoshitoshi, the prints might be by him, it's certainly the style I was thinking of.

[MRKTFRSH]

if your talking about the woodblock prints, they're called ukiyoe and they're from the edo period.

Would you care to explain to me what these prints are, exactly? Particularly the type shown around the two minute mark, they're a bit more dimensional than typical Japanese prints, a bit more Western, and are usually really over the top in detail, busy scenes with elaborate samurai costumes and/or bitchin demons. What style/era are those? I've seen them in places, but all the books I've read seem to skip that whole era/genre.

I hope you are able to understand my broken English.
