This project was created as a copy of an original sculpture carved from wood. The original sculpture represents the revered Karate God Busaganashi and rests in the Jundokan Dojo in Okinawa, Japan. This sculpture was created from polymer clay and finished in a faux wood stain and mounted to a marble base. It was commissioned for a Gojo Ryu Historian. I was grateful to be a part of creating such a piece for someone's gift of love. It pleases me to know he is in a good home. You can commission your own Busaganashi sculpture hand made to order. Each piece is based off of the original sculpture, but has its own unique qualities and will be a custom unique museum quality sculpture.
