Samurai Exhibit

The next day, I went with my aunt to the Samurai exhibit in Speyer, it was a lot of fun. I knew many things already, but the pieces were beautiful and the documentation as always was excellent. They compared a typical German knight with a Japanese Samurai. The samurai needs much more time to get dressed (over 2hrs), but then this armor only ways ~7kg, the knight needs only 45min, but his armor weighs over 40kg!

Also, they emphasized the aesthetic, the stories, and the art of being a samurai
