Negus with Attitude - The Twin Towers Part 1 Yasuke - First Black Samurai Excerpt from Ninja Attack! True tales of assassins, samurai, and outlaws: "Born in 1555 in the vicinity of Zanzibar, he was an unfortunate victim of the Arab slave trade. Sold to the Portuguese in Mozambique he was transported from Africa to the far east as human cargo. At some point he became the property of Alessandro Valignano, an ambitious young Jesuit missionary from the Kingdom of Naples. When Oda Nobunaga granted Valignano an audience on April 6, 1581, the missionary brought the African along. By the time the meeting was over the African had become Nobunaga's charge... he was a large man by Japanese standards (official records describe him as being roughly 26 or 27, with the strength of 10 men and a complexion as dark as an ox). But Nobunaga ordered him stripped and scrubbed to ensure that he hadn't been painted or died with pigment. Then apparently satisfied, Nobunaga took him under his wing. In fact he was soon made a vassal quite a leap for someone whose status had been little more than disposable human property -- and given the name Yasuke." #jgibson142 #art #blackart #samurai #NWA #cosplay #blackhistory #painting #digitalpainting #photoshop #aftereffects #youngblackartists #nubiamancy
