Lorenzo - Great video - I recognised one of the armours, it used to be in Arashiyama, Kyoto, then I was offered it. Small world.
Eric, Nice armour. I have one in black with the kamon of the Date family on the crupper. It has a remarkable feature in that scales drop off every time you look at it.

Thanks for the video, Lorenzo. I did not understand much, but the film made a lot of sense.
Fascinating dragon mask, Eric. Now I need just a place which sells stuffed horses :badgrin: --off course at a bargain price(shipping included!)

The fondazione in that case was sort of promoter, but the video shows the "Samurai" exhibition in Milan last year; I think Carlo already put some link here time ago.

The official site is now gone, as the exhibition itself.. you can see something left here:

... and, the same exhibition will be open again this year, but in Venice:
