Last year; after toying around with the idea with a colleague and friend, I decided to "step-up" and go for the challenge of coming up with a few snowboard designs. I thought it would be cool to make a samurai series, inspired by "Akira Kurosawa's" 7 Samurai (one of my all time fav films). While delving into the process, I thought it would be nice to draft the designs to look like traditional Japanesee woodcut prints, but with a modern flare to them. Following are samples of the "in-the-making" process and final board design, referring to the first snowboard in the 7 samurai series (MIYAMOTO). This board was designed in honor of one of the greatest japanese fencing masters of the XVI century "Miyamoto Musashi", a philosopher , artist, and great samurai.
