Edo Period Samurai Illustration - Historical Japanese Warriors in Traditional Attire #252368 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white engraving depicts two samurai during Japan’s Edo period (1603-1868), rendered in a classic woodcut-inspired style. The figure on the left wears a formal haori over a kosode, carries a katana at his hip, and smiles slightly; the companion walks beside him with a wakizashi slung across his back and a cloth-wrapped bundle in hand, suggesting travel or pilgrimage. Both wear traditional geta or zōri sandals and display subtle class distinctions through garment patterns and posture.
