guys, this seller is.. mildly said,a bit crazy about prices. F.e. they posted order of The Sacred Treasure of 5th grade for $1500... roughly 10 times its real value...

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.

...scales drop off the eyes of your understanding, Ian? I don't believe you have any left! :lol:

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!)

Lorenzo, some amazing stuff in those links. What is the FONDAZIONE ANTONIO MAZZOTTA? :dunno:

Lorenzo · **Posted:** Thu Apr 22, 2010 10:21 am

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:
