Shoju Toshokv is a Zen warrior and an expert in various fighting styles: Kendo, Naginata, Judo, Aikido, Karate, Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu. He is also proficient with most edged weapons His weapon of choice, however, is a hand carved bow staff.

This custom has been in the back of my head for months. And over that time he's changed quite a bit. The one thing I did keep was that the figure is a Rit-dye base. The figure was dry-brushed with various shades of black, grey and blue. I also got inspiration from a similar custom on eBay and painted his collar gold. The sword was thinned out to fit his style better. I added some material to the handle to look like ribbons. The sheath added to the armor is from a VvV wrist communicator.

The double layer skirt was cut from different materials. The staff is cut from a 1/16th dowel then roughed up on a grinder and painted with paint cleaner sediment. The hat is a suction-cup that I cut a hole in the top and puttied so it would fit his head.
