Art of the Samurai: Japanese Arms and Armor, 1156–1868
The Metropolitan Museum of Art says:
Now on view at the Met is the most extraordinary and comprehensive exhibition of Japanese arms and armor ever to take place in the United States. Bringing together some 215 masterpieces, including 34 National Treasures (more than twice the number of National Treasures ever before allowed to leave Japan for a single loan exhibition), Art of the Samurai: Japanese Arms and Armor, 1156-1868 explores the greatest achievements of this unique aspect of Japanese art. Drawn exclusively from public and private collections in Japan, the exhibition showcases the finest examples of armor, swords, sword fittings and mountings, archery and equestrian equipments, banners, surcoats, and related accessories of rank such as fans and batons, as well as painted screens and scrolls depicting samurai warriors.
