In Combat First Use the Bow then the Sword

Torii Suneemon is an expert with both the Yumi (bow) and Katana (Longsword), weapons that define the Samurai warrior.

As an expert archer, Torii Suneemon uses a variety of Yajiri (arrowheads) for different targets. For general combat the Togari-ya (simple point) is used, the deadly Karimata (split blade) or bowel ripper is best for unarmored enemies, while the unique scream of the Kabura-ya could be used to both signal allies and cause fear among enemies. Once he closes with the enemy Torii kills by using his fantastic Katana, the finest sword ever crafted.

Torii Suneemon is a metal Ral Partha piece from the 1970's, that I painted this month.
