"Steve Barber finished sculpting my latest commission, and it looks lovely as always. In this samurai, I wanted a new pose of the classic unarmored samurai. I believe the specific name for this stance is hasso no kamae.

I'm guessing the blade is a separate piece (as is usual for Steve's samurai). If you like making your own weapons, this will allow you to add your own blades for katana, wakizashi or maybe even a nodachi. I bet I could probably even arm this guy with a kanabo with little trouble…"

Lovely sculpt, but shocking pose. Maybe it will look better in the flesh…

The pose/stance is called hasso no kamae:

I'm very aware of hasso. And neither of those two images is an accurate representation of it.

In that case, we'll have to pretend it's an old unknown stance from some mysterious sword school on a high mountaintop; at least we have the photographic evidence of one practitioner.
