Jigoro of the Wind

Jigoro of the Wind is a character card originating from the Legend of the Five Rings collectible card game, which was first published in 1995. The game was designed by John Wick and released by Alderac Entertainment Group, set within the immersive, fictional world of Rokugan. As an element of the game’s core strategic mechanics, this card represents a specific persona tied to the Crane Clan, reflecting the game's emphasis on feudal Japanese-inspired aesthetics and political maneuvering.

The art featured on the card is characteristic of the mid-1990s CCG aesthetic, often utilizing high-contrast fantasy illustrations to define character roles. Designed to facilitate deck building through specialized unit abilities, the card was received as a functional tool within the broader tournament circuit of the time. Its design prioritizes the thematic cohesion of the Crane Clan, aiming to provide players with a balanced defensive presence on the battlefield while contributing to the narrative depth of the game's evolving lore.
