A Journey of Samurai

The work in context

A Journey of Samurai gives its landscapes a narrative task. A samurai travels through changing terrains gathering soil for an offering, seeking a sacred object that might lift a curse. The setting is therefore both visual spectacle and a sequence of obstacles within a fictional journey. [1]

Construction and process

The artist describes a 444-piece series, while the official API reports fewer minted works. The intended scope of a story and the issued token supply are different facts. The record does not establish a mint sell-through narrative or a detailed construction process, and neither is inferred from the imagery. [1]

Release and mint

The official catalogue dates this release to 2024-11-19. At the 2026-10-13 check, the platform reported 92 minted works against a maximum of 444. The difference is retained rather than calling the edition sold out or treating its maximum as issued supply. [1]

Launch price, presale conditions, mint duration and realised proceeds are not established in this dossier’s evidence. No current market price is substituted for a historical mint price. [1]

Token and preservation

This release uses the shared BrainDrops Ethereum contract. Its official project identifier is 37; the archive matches token IDs to projects and checks ownership at a fixed block. The contract record, token metadata and displayed media are separate parts of the object. [2][3]

BD5D stores optimised still previews, and preserves original media links in its catalogue. The evidence assembled here does not establish that the generative model, its training data, or the full-resolution artwork bytes execute or reside on Ethereum.

Series-specific licence: not established. No explicit licence grant has been verified in the sources cited for this dossier. BD5D does not label the work CC0 or assign commercial rights from token ownership. The paper or software associated with a project may have its own licence; that is a separate record from the artwork.
