Whether it's collaboration fan-art with popular Japanese animation and comic series One Piece, or an Ukiyo-e rendition of the Marvel Civil War, there have been some pretty sweet depictions of Marvel superheroes using both modern and traditional Japanese artistic aesthetic. Now by Kojo Masayuki, a professional artist who previously did this awesome rendition of Darth Vader, is back again with Japanese warrior portraits of Spiderman, Iron Man, and Captain America.
Kojo specializes in Bujinga, a type of ukiyo-e print that depicted the battle scenes and the heroics of early Japan's warriors. He previously commented that in the combatants featured in his work, he sees more than simply warriors, but a symbol of all the preparation and commitment it takes to stand on the battlefield. Since Cap, Tony, and Spidey run around trying to save the world all the time, we figure they are a pretty fitting trio to capture that theme.
Here are the three with their titles.
