Presentation:
From the East to the West, from Shintoism to Greek mythology,
gods of war are present. "Black princes" dedicating
their lives to the art of fighting, they were sometimes
seen as violent and cruel, but always as effective protectors.
In Asia, many satues of these gods guard the doors of Temple,
to prevent the Evil to enter...
