SEVEN SAMURAI DOLLS

Posted on by CUPCO

Based on characters from Kurosawa Akira’s immense classic Seven Samurai, I mあde these dolls in 2007(?). Seven Samurai was one of the first movies to spark my interest in Japan. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it! The challenge with these dolls was deciding on a colour scheme that would suit each of the characters and translating that from grainy, gritty black and white 1950s film. よくできましたカプコさん！！My only regret with these dolls is that I didn’t sell them as a set. Boohoo!
