Samurai gaijin

As I mentioned before, in an earlier blog, our friend works at the Chiba History Museum. At that time I was excited about getting to try on a samurai helmet (kabuto.) Since then we were invited to come back. This time I got to try on a complete set of Edo period, samurai armor. When I was younger, I had always wanted to do that, so it was a real treat for me. I didn't even have to do any work, the museum staff did all it. All I had to do was stick out my arms and lift up my legs. The staff carefully placed on each layer after layer, until the suit was complete. The suit was heavier than I expected but, I felt like I could fight anybody if I had to =). I felt really lucky especially because I was dressed by professionals, which was the first time for me with any kind of outfit. Truly a moment to remember.
