My favorite piece in the collection was the Mistsusada Suit of Armor. I am not sure how protective the armor was back in the Edo period, but the mask alone is terrifying!

What a great addition to every kid's favorite--the suit of armor! I've never seen a full suit of samurai armor in a museum before, and I can't wait to see all the details on this one!

I love this because even hundreds of years after the edo period, this suit of armor still looks intimidating. I can imagine the skilled warrior that would have worn this suit into battle, and I would never want to offend him!
