The Spring Samurai

Spring Samurai by Edo Ball — a Japanese basketball art print merging samurai tradition and athletic motion, depicting a warrior leaping through green maple leaves with a golden basketball in ukiyo-e style.

The Spring Samurai

春侍

When the cherry trees bloom, so too does The Spring Samurai rise from the mist of the Waterfall court. Wearing a mask crafted from the artisans of The Thousand Fans, he embodies grace and ferocity — a warrior devoted to the beauty of the game.

His movements are sharp but poetic, every layup balanced by restraint. The mask conceals more than his face; it holds the stories of countless battles, the lessons of defeat, and the burden of legacy. To watch him play is to see the court bloom — every dribble a sign of growth and renewal.

He reigns as the king of The Waterfall Court, yet wanders often to Isolation Island in the southern Breaker Isles, seeking opponents who challenge his flow. There, among storms and salt air, his game transforms — fluid, fearless, and renewed with every spring.
