"The Seven Samurai" Size: 1.47" to 1.53" Price: SOLD


Here is an extremely rare opportunity for you to own set #2 from Kobuki's famous Seven Samurai series! Only 5 of these sets of 7 were made, each with its own storage and display case created by John, with this set coming in a new, upgraded case which John created for added longevity. This remarkable and legendary set is based on the 1954 Japanese movie in which seven samurai are recruited to defend a farming village from bandits who continue to strike. Each samurai is different, each with its own personality, and each with its own little head peeking out from under its jingasa. If you love elevated art in your marble collection, along with the best of what Kobuki creates, then one of these 5 sets is a must. There is so much history in this set, from culture to glass to marbles to Kobuki, that you feel a sense of awe when you look at it. I have one of the sets in my personal collection, otherwise I'd never be able to let go of this one. Each marble in the set is signed with John's signature in Kanji script.
