Michetz (Marc Michetz, 1951) is a Belgian artist best known for his works inspired by Japanese culture, especially the Kogaratsu series, which established him as one of Europe’s key creators of samurai-themed comics. His style blends European dynamism with aesthetic influences drawn from ukiyo-e. This illustration is part of a limited edition released in 1991, published by Glénat and based on an original drawing by Michetz. Printed in France, it is a high-quality offset print on 220 g heavy paper, with sharp detail and a rich color palette. Michetz developed his passion for Japan after a trip there in his youth, where he became fascinated by Noh theatre and traditional woodblock prints. That influence is clearly visible in pieces like this one: elegant figures, sumptuous clothing, and a poetic atmosphere that brings together Japanese tradition and European sensitivity.
