The Somber Samurai
We’re used to seeing Japanese Samurais depicted in a very particular way in Hollywood blockbuster films. In this particular shot, which dates back to the early 1870’s in Japan, a real-life Samurai is shown in traditional dress in what might have been a moment shortly after defeat. He looks somewhat somber compared to the images we are used to seeing, which goes to show that you can’t believe everything you see on film.
