Visit to Samurai Armour Exhibit

Post by Malek »

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:

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.
