le-plus-beau-des-mensonges:The Red Viper Dueling the MountainFrom Game of Thrones Reenvisioned as Feudal JapanIllustration by seiji: “Oberyn Martell wields a naginata against Gregor Clegane, who fights with a no-dachi (greatsword) and a tessen (iron war fan). The three kanji on Clegane’s armor each translate to the word “dog”, in accordance with his family crest. I considered giving Martell a yari (single-pointed spear) but I liked how the naginata drew parallels to the visually similar duel between Ushiwaka and the warrior-monk Benkei in the Heike Monogatari.” -- source link
