Sketches: Asian Art Museum SF - Samurai armor, 4/2024

While visiting the SF Asian Art Museum this weekend, I stopped at the Japanese collection to inspect the five-plate Yukinoshita samurai armor. I've been watching the new Shogun series on Hulu and it's fantastic that we can see the real armor at the AAM. 

Five-plate Yukinoshita armor, 1615 to 1700

It's a combination of craftsmanship and combat.
