I was very much surprised about his knowledge of momoyama armor! He must have a photographic memory. On the other hand, his approach is really artistic.
He brings those sengoku jidai warriors into the 21 century.

This is one of my favorites. It illustrates the importance of a mon (or a brand), even nowadays.

And this one shows how futuristic momoyama design is.

John,
Great images, great joke!
Thanks for the update, you have really made me re-evaluate my opinion of Noguchi-sans work, a real modern iki-ningyo master. I look forward to a full ‘in-depth’ report on his work. I’d love to know, are these pieces scale multi media or clever modelling in resin?
I’ll post some images of one of the antique iki-ningyo I have owned, not so contemporary but very samurai and a bit more ....gruesome.
Thanks for making me ‘look again’.
Richard
