The Armour Archive

My birthday tomorrow.
The wife and my dad conspired to take me to the Portland Art Museum to see the Samurai Arms and Armour exhibit.

I managed to remember my digital camera and took lots of pictures. Managed to get some good detail shots, too. Check out the full set of pictures here:

And some teaser previews:

I might have to take the train down there soon and make a weekend of it.

I caught this when it was still in Boston, amazing collection. Thanks for posting the pictures, mine are still wallowing somewhere on my computer...

Spectacular! Thank you, Malek.

This is high quality stuff, nicely displayed. I have never seen mounted figures look so good... Breathtaking. I wish I had known about the exhibit when it was closer to me.
