Outline of Exhibition
The latter half of the 16th century and early part of the 17th century was the Age of Civil Wars in Japan. In order to attract attention on the battlefield, helmets and flags became elaborate. This exhibition presents a recently restored famous flag owned by the Historiographical Institute at the University of Tokyo, along with about 10 "Decorative Helmets" from the Museum's collection.
