With their Wolverine mini-series (1982) set in Japan, Chris Claremont and Frank Miller redefined him as a troubled rōnin. This comic arc inspired the storyline of the second film. The art pays homage to the 19th Century Ukiyo-E woodblock prints by artists like Utumaro Toyokuni and Utagawa Kunimasa.
