SOUNDBITE (English) Rosina Buckland, lead curator:  "It was customary for armour like this to be re-laced, the perishable parts, including the lacing. This is a beautiful rich green colour called vernal green, auspicious to express renewal and growth in springtime. The first surprise is that this armour would never have been worn. In a time of peace, there's no need for armour. This is like an expensive car you keep in the garage, maybe. It's a status symbol. You have to have the armour to prove that you're a high-status samurai, that you were a lord, for example, or it's an appropriate marker of your status." 10. Pan from map of Japan to helmet 11.

People are aware of this word, they're aware of the ubiquitous image of the samurai as a warrior, usually a male figure in armour holding a sword. But there's so much more to samurai history that this exhibition helps people to explore. There certainly was a period when they were warriors in the Middle Ages. It was a time of great political turmoil, battles. But culture was equally important, so from the very earliest days the samurai were poets and tea practitioners and engaged with religious faith." 14. Various of Great armour, 1400s-1500s 15.

SOUNDBITE (English) Rosina Buckland, lead curator:  "The samurai were the ruling class and the first shogunate, the first samurai government was established in 1185. So right from that period, they have been steering a lot of the political development in Japan, but particularly the cultural development. They really are the generators of not all, but many cultural movements. There's also a very vibrant townspeople class at this time that has a different kind of culture. But the elite forms of culture were being created for the samurai and sometimes by the samurai themselves." 21. Tilt down to woodblock print artworks of actors 22. Various of artworks 23.
