I was looking on Redbubble for new art for my apartment when I came across this.

An Samurai crusader... Fighting in God's name...

I mean, the Crusades ran from 1095–1291 but we didn't really get in firm contact with Asia until what, the late 15th Century?

...And I began to wonder, how could come to be?

Maybe a monk managed to survive the harsh two year trek across the Silk Road and encounters a trade ship to Japan, from there maybe thanks to God's will begins preaching and finds an daimyō who converts... From there I'm sure some samurai and rōnin would convert...

And how would the two no three (Can't forget the Turks) cultures colliding react? Not just three totally different combat doctrine but ideas of the world, etc...
