MGMP-04A – Warrior Monk with Swords (Yellow) | John Jenkins Designs
Japan's sōhei, commonly described as warrior monks, became a formidable presence in the country's medieval history. Associated with powerful Buddhist temples and religious institutions, they could become involved in political struggles, territorial disputes and armed conflict.
MGMP-04A – Warrior Monk with Swords represents one of these distinctive fighting men, presented here in the yellow colour variation.
Warrior monks should not be imagined as belonging to a single uniform military organisation. Different temples and religious networks maintained their own interests, and armed followers appeared in conflicts over many centuries.
The swords and striking yellow clothing give MGMP-04A an immediate visual presence. He can stand individually as a character piece or be incorporated among other warrior monks and samurai to create a much larger Japanese scene.
Available through The Military Workshop – a colourful and distinctive John Jenkins Designs warrior representing the armed religious traditions of medieval Japan.
Brand: John Jenkins
