Meiji bronze of samurai on horse?
I found this statue in an antique shop. Japanese characters inscribed are Tsu Sun.
I found a photo of a much larger statue on a tourist’s post of someone having visited the Inuyama area.
Does anyone know the name of the artist?
Hey breasia,
Sun Tsu is the author of “The Art of War”, and the ultimate goal of war is peace. The strategies for warfare are revered by all military minds, and as a believer in Peace – it is my wish that all war would end in success! Peace. But your characters are not in the same order, are Japanese, not Chinese. What little research I can find on this has to do with the ‘lost tribes’ of the Hebrews, and similarities of Japanese ritual to Hebrew.
And “tsu” may be the Hebrew word “tse” which means “Come out.
Is the Trocadero web site Samurai what you are looking at? Perhaps they will know.
