“A Path of Honor” is inspired by the movie “47 Ronin”.
The image shows a landscape of the city of Ako , the scene of the semi-legendary historical event of ancient Japan, regarded as a national legend.
In the center of the painting appears a Ronin and a Samurai, with a Torii gate in the middle, a symbol of entrance to a sacred space.

It is a story of loyalty, honor, sacrifice and perseverance of the vassals of the Lord of Ako, Asano Naganori, which happened 300 years ago, the 47 samurai who did not hesitate to raise their values of Gi (justice) and Chu (loyalty) still at the cost of their own lives.
