Samurai Rumble

The Japanese are precise especially when it comes to cutting and dicing up their opponents and they perform the act with such detachment that it is almost mechanical. But in the art of sword fighting I believe none is more graceful than the Way of the Samurais. 
What captures my interest when viewing the Samurais in action is the choreographic motion of their movement which reminds me of an intense ballet performance. I enjoy sketching the folds in their clothing which accentuates the motion of their bodies.
