Sanjuro [2K23]

161st illustration of the year.
This time I drew Toshiro Mifune's nameless ronin from Yojimbo, the film that "inspired" A Fistful of Dollars. Both are among my absolute favourites and both are very fine films, but I like Yojimbo a fair bit more. This movie made me a fan of Kurosawa and Mifune. The ultimate pairing. And here I thought there was no greater pair than John Woo and Chow Yun-Fat, but I was definitely wrong there.
Like the Clint Eastwood image before this, I used a teabag for that old, weathered effect, and since Yojimbo is a black and white movie, well.
