Description
The Samurai of the Eternal (鎧伝サムライトルーパー) Ryo Sanada Painted celluloid sheet for the anime based on Hajime Yatate’s (矢立 肇) work. Executed in ink and gouache Produced by Sunrise 1988–1989, Japan H23 L26 cm Ryo Sanada is the main protagonist of The Samurai of Eternity — wearer of the Wildfire armour, associated with the virtue of justice. His design — black hair, blue eyes, red armour with golden flames — is the iconic image of the series for an entire generation of viewers. In Sunrise’s animation, the transformation and armour-activation sequences presented the greatest visual challenge: the armour of the five samurai had to be rendered with a level of detail that was unusual for a 1980s television series.
