Original Note:
It is unclear if Yasuke was a samurai, sources call him a 小姓 (koshō ), a page or sword bearer/retainer. It is also unclear if he was ever a slave. This statue is an art piece made by Nicola Roos in 2017, it was created out of recycled rubber tyre tubing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke https://www.jstor.org/stable/25066328 https://nicolaroos.com/
