Product Description
Sohei were Buddhist monks or warriors dressed as monks who existed in Japan from the late ancient period through the Middle Ages and early modern period.
The general image of a warrior monk is of him wearing a silk jacket over his hakama and belly warmer, and carrying a weapon such as a sword, naginata, or spear.
By the end of the Heian period, the warrior monks had become a powerful military group, using temples as their bases to repeatedly engage in power struggles among themselves and file strong petitions against the Imperial Court.
Contains 3 figures of each pose except for the flag and spear-holding monk figures.
