Description
The Samurai of the Eternal (鎧伝サムライトルーパー) Ryo Sanada, Seiji Date and Mukala 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 This cell vividly illustrates the central theme explored throughout this exhibition — armour as a moral language. Here, this language is turned against itself: the virtue of justice (Kento) and the virtue of fire (Ryo) lie motionless in their armour, dragged along by a naked body that needs no outward sign of power to dominate. This is the most radical demonstration that armour does not make the warrior — and that power can lie precisely where one least expects it.
