Sato Hageshi - Raphael vs. The Samurai – TMNT - Pop Art – Signed and Numbered 2/10

This striking ukiyo-e style artwork captures an intense duel between Raphael and a fearsome samurai warrior. Set in a serene bamboo grove at sunset, the scene is charged with movement — swirling dust, flying leaves, and the dynamic clash of blades. Raphael’s red bandana flows dramatically as he wields his twin sai with ferocity, while the armored samurai meets him with a raised katana. A torii gate and traditional Japanese shrine structures in the background add a layer of historical depth, blending pop culture with classical Japanese aesthetics.
