Samurai: Armor from the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Collection

April 28, 2018

The wife dragged me to see some Samurai Armor at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. It was an amazing display of ancient armor from around the mid-Edo period. 

The level of detail that existed around the 1600s was beautiful. Almost unreal to see the dedication and thought put into creating every single piece. 

The masterful use of the urushi sap (Lacquer Tree) is amazing on almost every piece of equipment.
