Boston MFA Japanese Samurai Armor Exhibition Opens Barbier-Mueller Collection 

These guys are right. Utility aside, the suits of armour are works of art in themselves.

Beautiful and terrifying at the same time. I love to see the way the horses were decorated just as much as the samurai riding it. Thanks for sharing this.

I can see shimura, jin's and gosaku's armor very cool

amazing, wish this exhibit was closer to me. looks like an incredable collection

samurai armor just looks badass

I love this samurai armors...bad ass

fabrics are showing wear and tear because they are centuries old, but when they were actually worn in battlefields, they must have been way more vivid/colorful I think.

Soy fan de la cultura japonesa desde México 🇲🇽🙋

Brilliant! Would love to see this in person!

I cant wait for the exhibit in Los Angeles!

Indeed truly beautiful works of art

armor looks cool and intimidating.

Thank you

i wish modern samurai armor was made with the same quality.

Thanks for sharing this information.

I need to know the name of the theme in the background... please...

As explained in the program, the secret of samurai armor is to protect against longbows. Japanese longbows have a long range of 400m and 150m, and are so powerful that their arms and necks fly off when hit at close range. Japanese armor is equipped to protect against this large bow. Chinese and Korean bows are short bows, so their armor is thin. During the war with China and Korea, 50 Chinese shortbows were fired into Japan's armor, leaving almost all of Japan's armor intact. Shoot from a distance that cannot be reached with a short bow, and after annihilating the archery infantry, charge and kill them with a Japanese sword. In Korea, 200,000 Chinese and Korean troops surrounded the 7,000 members of the Shimazu clan who were holed up in a castle.There is a record that the Shimazu clan attacked from the castle and killed 80,000 people before escaping, but the number of Shimazu clan casualties was only two.

AMAZING

The Japanese are exceptional craftsmen

How many golden dragon helmet samurai uniforms were created back then? I have seen virtually the same exact uniform on another video as well as in real life at a museum in alabama. Is this a legitimate set of armor or just a reproduced replica that was made in a large quantity?

素晴らしいコレクション❗️ 武士道‼️

We have to succeed this culture.

their family made it, most probably by their mothers and wives, woven with the armour of their father and great grandfather, now you would not want anyone touch even one strand or fiber of what your family represent, therefore this armour indeed protects even the spirit

I am Japanese. I am proud to be a Samurai. Even if their status has disappeared since the Meiji Restoration, their souls and courtesy are passed down to their descendants.

0:01 the samurái covered their horses in armor? I was of the idea that only the mongola did It🤔

It was good against slicing attack but not very good for piercing attack

No entendí nada =(

I want to put on a samuari set and play heavy metal

ん？日本人？ 通名かな

The Samurai knights look like what'd happen if Dark Helmet from Spaceballs decided to cover himself in glue and then roll through a landfill site. I'm one among the small minority who recognises the fact in which the samurai knights look ridiculous. They're so over-embellished to the point in which they're just a visually incoherent mess. The Mongol knights and the Chinese knights of the Qin dynasty looked so much better.
