Description

Always on the lookout for Usagi Yojimbo pieces by Stan Sakai but especially for his great color pieces - I really like his watercolor style and this piece is so happy and vibrant. This piece was labeled as the original Saga 1 signature plate, which I assumed was for the HC Saga 1 that Dark Horse had put out... but I don't see this image in my copy? So not sure if this was unused or used for a different book that I am not finding. Doesn't matter though - still a great piece!

UPDATE: I believe this is the color plate for the 2nd printing of the HC Saga 1. Don't have a copy to confirm yet.

I think the fact this is a piece with a SMILING Usagi makes it a rarity. I dont see many pieces where he gets to smile becuase hes always slicing armies to ribbons! Congrats!

Serene and natural feel to the pose and colors work towards a pleasant viewing experience Sakai wanted to bring.

Such beautiful colors on this piece! The blues and greens are so soothing and match Usagi's happy expression. Huge congrats!
