Aloof Pegasus Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 This exhibition is on in Carp Castle in Hiroshima. It's on the 3rd floor and there are about 15-20 helmets from different eras and in different styles. There are several with very striking kuwagata, one a pair of waves rearing above the helmet, another a large menacing shell. A third is covered with grey hair pulled up in a topknot! I stumbled upon it by accident after having visited the small sword collection which included a Rai Kunimitsu tanto and a Kanesada katana the floor below. Photography was not allowed. The castle website is http://www.rijo-castle.jp Japanese only. The exhibition is on until Feb 15. 9-5 weekdays, Sat Sun 9-6 Philip Loftus Quote
